PREAMBLE 


/  am  the  Spirit  of  the  Unborn. 
I  come  to  plead  for  better  bo- 
dies, in  which  I  wish  to  live. 


THE  SPIRIT  OF  THE  UNBORN 

I  am  the  Spirit  of  the  Unborn ! 

I  am  the  Spirit  of  all  the  unborn  children 
of  all  the  world.  I  am  their  sum  total. 
Each  one  of  them  is  a  particle  of  Me. 

I  come  to  call  upon  the  parents  of  today 
and  of  tomorrow,  with  a  plea  for  Purity. 

But  not  alone  to  those  do  I  direct  My  call. 

For  in  younger  people,  too — who  know 
not  yet  if  they  ever  will  be  parents — there 
is  impurity  which,  by  its  subtleness,  hampers 
My  true  expression. 

And  not  only  to  the  living  is  My  plea,  but 
to  the  dead  as  well.  For  in  their  future 
shall  they  live  again  on  earth;  and  in  their 
earth  life  may  become  parents. 


11— 


Hence:  to  all  I  speak.  To  all  humanity 
My  Voice  goes  out. 

Still  your  desires — and  listen  to  My 
Voice! 


THE  COMING  RACE 

I  am  here  to  beseech  you  to  prepare  for 
Me,  the  Spirit  of  the  unborn  children  of  the 
Coming  Race. 

I  am  the  One  and  only  One  who  repre- 
sents them  all.  For  I  am  He  who  is  in  the 
heart  of  all. 

In  behalf  of  the  children  of  the  New 
Race  shall  I  speak  in  this  book:  especially 
for  their  sake  is  the  Purity  required  for  which 
I  plead.  Never  shall  one  of  them  become 
the  child  of  any  parent  who  is  not  in  every 
way  pure. 

You,  who  do  not  wish  to  purify  your- 
selves— you  may  still  beget  children  if  you 
so  desire;  but  you  will  have  to  be  satisfied 


It— 


with  whatever  child  may  come  to  your  home : 
to  the  impure  parent  no  pure  and  highly 
evolved  child  can  ever  again  be  born.  Into 
the  home  of  you  who  are  impure  and  selfish 
can  come  only  the  ones  who  have  not  reached 
the  stage  where  they  can  form  a  part  of  the 
New  Race! 

But  not  to  you,  O  parents  who  are  pure 
and  unselfish,  will  anyone  ever  come  who  is 
not  worthy  of  yourselves.  Never  shall  you 
give  birth  to  a  child  which  is  not  all  that 
can  be  expected  of  the  Future  Race — all  that 
is  to  be  realized  by  it. 

Only  if  the  parents  of  the  present  race  will 
purify  their  bodies  and  their  habits,  their 
emotions  and  their  thoughts,  can  I,  in  My 
new  bodies,  express  those  qualities  which 
will  make  the  earth  a  heaven,  and  life  an 
eternal  bliss. 


I — the  Spirit  of  the  Unborn — have  come 
to  call  together  the  parents  of  the  New 
Race! 

The  time  is  nigh  in  which  to  divide  the 


—14 


people  of  the  world  into  those  who  are  pre- 
pared to  establish  My  New  Race,  and  into 
those  who  are  not  yet  ready. 

I  come! 

And  listen,  ye  who  long  for  beauty  in  your 
children:  once  more  I  call! 


THE  PLEA  FOR  PURITY 


He,  still  impure,  shall  not  despair. 

He,  who  is  pure,  shall  not  despise. 

He,  who  but  strives,  stands  closer 
to  the  gateway  which  admits  to  My 
New  Race,  than  ail  who — having 
seemingly  attained — still  criticize  and 
condemn. 


PURITY  FROM  PASSION 

Over  the  world  of  men — over  the  cities, 
and  wherever  men  have  made  their  homes — 
there  hangs  a  cloud,  a  muddy,  viscid,  astral 
cloud  of  sensuality. 

Looking  out  over  the  earth  from  My  pure 
spiritual  realm,  I  see  the  globe  enveloped  in 
a  red-brown-colored  fog  which  men  have 
emanated. 

From  hour  to  hour  seems  the  foul  mist  to 
be  growing  thicker,  its  sickening  stench  ever 
more  pernicious — caused  by  the  continuity 
of  sensual  actions,  sensual  talk  and  sensual 
thoughts  of  men. 

Into  that  cloud  /  must  descend  t 


Through  that  almost  impassable  barrier 
I,  Spirit  of  the  Unborn,  must  go — to  find 
new  incarnation! 

How — tarnished  by  its  filthy  stain  before 
I  reach  the  earth — can  you  expect  Me  to  find 
adequate  bodies,  fit  for  My  pure  expression, 
fit  for  the  Coming  Race? 


Watchfully  am  I  waiting  for  possibilities 
to  incarnate  in  purer  bodies,  conceived  by 
parents  who  live  in  purity  ....  even 
though  married. 

Marriage — the  sacred  bond  of  love,  to 
which  I  looked  for  an  opportunity  to  find 
bodies  created  in  purity — what  have  men 
made  of  it?  It  has  been  desecrated,  de- 
graded into  an  institution  of  legalized  im- 
morality, debased  by  habitual  seeking  of 
carnal  satisfaction. 

This  must  be  changed,  if  you  want  Me  to 
come !  Only  in  pure  bodies  can  I  take  birth 
— /,  the  Spirit  of  the  Race  of  the  Future. 

Creative  power  should  be  used  by  you  for 
My  sake:  that  I  may  find  new  bodies,  in 


-22 


which  to  manifest  the  best  and  highest  that 
is  in  Me! 

Creative  energy  is  the  godliest  part  of 
you ;  in  it  lies  not  alone  your  semblance  with 
the  Divine,  but  your  own  Divinity! 

Therefore :  abuse  it  not! 

What  have  you  done  with  it? 

What  are  you  doing  with  it? 

Answer  these  questions  to  yourself,  in  per- 
fect honesty.  I  know  the  answer — without 
your  telling  Me ;  for  from  My  World  I  can 
observe  the  most  hidden  facts  in  yours. 


That  you  yourself  may  think,  and  for  your- 
self may  know,  and  not  rush  thoughtlessly 
along  in  the  customary  rut  ....  this  is  the 
purpose  of  My  asking  you : 

Can  I  come  to  you,  and  find  in  you  the 
Purity  which  for  My  full  expression  I  do  so 
urgently  need?  Or  will  the  atmosphere 
around  you,  too,  suffocate  Me? 

Am  I  too  personal,  too  rigorous  in  the 
way  in  which  I  tear  the  bandages  from  a 


filthy  sore  on  present  humanity  ....  even 
if  not  on  you? 

Stop  listening  to  Me,  if  you  wish. 

But  then:  never  complain  about  the  con- 
sequences of  your  indocility,  of  your  persis- 
tence in  willful  ignorance.  And  know :  /  see 
— I  see  every  act  of  yours,  of  past  and  pres- 
ent ....  and  of  future  possibilities,  too. 
And  it  is  because  I  see  a  probability  of  your 
carefully  considering  these  words — of  your 
living  up  to  them — that  I  find  it  worth  My 
while  to  come  and  speak  to  you,  just  in  the 
way  I  do. 


/  see! 

And  what  are  the  acts  that  I  have  to  look 
upon? 

Waste  of  creative  energy,  by  old  and 
young  ....  even  by  the  very  young! 

Whose  fault  is  this?  Who  is  to  blame  for 
the  alarming  spread  of  self-abuse  and  im- 
morality amongst  young  children  ? 

Your  fault,  O  parents,  who  are  not  living 
My  Purity!  Your  fault,  O  men  and  women, 


-24 


all  you  of  mature  age,  who  fill  the  atmos- 
phere with  emanations  of  your  impurity.  On 
others  it  reacts,  what  you  send  forth  in  acts, 
emotions,  thoughts.  And  tender  youth  is  ex- 
tremely sensitive;  by  it  your  influence  is  the 
most  readily  caught. 

You  are  the  ones  to  blame ! 

You,  who  have  children — do  you  remem- 
ber with  what  motive  you  have  called  them 
forth?  Was  it  with  thoughts  of  love  for 
those  who  might  come  to  you  ?  Or  thought- 
lessly, ruled  by  your  passion,  in  sense-grati- 
fication? 

And  as,  within  its  sanctuary,  the  body  was 
being  builded — have  you  respected  the  sac- 
redness  of  its  development?  Or  is  it  true  in 
your  case,  too:  that  many  an  illegitimate 
was  conceived  in  greater  love  and  in  greater 
purity  than  the  children  of  you  who  scorn? 


Born  of  sin — of  'the  sin  against  the  Holy 
Ghost',  as  it  has  been  rightly  called — most 
children  grow  up,  breathing  in  and  absorb- 
ing the  baneful  influence  of  the  (be  it  ever 


so  hidden)  sensuality  in  acts  and  thoughts  of 
their  surroundings. 

Thus,  sensuality  is  stimulated  in  them. 
Uncautioned — for  who  will  caution  them? — 
lacking  true  knowledge  about  the  most  vital 
things,  they  are  permitted  to  indulge  in  fatal, 
secret  sins. 

As  a  result:  the  weaklings,  seeking  what 
they  call  'pleasure',  in  a  prostitution  of  them- 
selves and  of  others  ....  All  at  the  cost 
of  Me! 

For  wherever  they  go,  the  cloud  of  sen- 
suality becomes  always  darker,  and  more  im- 
penetrable. Wherever  they  go,  there  is  no 
place  for  Me!  Their  very  exhalations  would 
tend  to  smother  Me. 

And,  sad  to  say:  the  greater  part  of  to- 
day's humanity  are  they! 

Therefore,  I  call  and  call,  and  call  again 
for  greater  Purity. 

But  very  few  there  are  who  seriously 
listen.  And  fewer  still  are  they  who  are 
willing  to  enlist  in  My  army,  which  with  in- 
tense determination  will  work  for  Purity — 
preparing  the  way  for  Me,  the  Spirit  of  the 


—26 


Unborn. 

Patiently  am  I  watching  for  rents  in  the 
stifling  cloud — which  anyone  can  make  who 
strives  for  Purity. 

Each  one  who  tries  can,  to  begin  with,  stop 
adding  new  material  to  the  hideous,  qualmy 
cloud.  Each  one  who  goes  on  striving,  can 
become  like  a  little  sun,  a  radiating  center  of 
luminous  Purity,  and  pierce  that  ghastly 
cloud. 

From  My  World  I  cannot  shatter  it;  for 
it  is  a  hopeless  task  to  cleanse  and  purify 
where  men  continually  sully. 

But  whenever  anyone  in  your  world  tries, 
/  see  it,  and  rejoice — and  to  him  goes  My 
help.  And  with  My  help  his  strength  will 
grow,  enabling  him  to  make  an  opening 
through  which  I  can  come  down  to  find  un- 
hampered expression  ....  be  it  in  his  chil- 
dren,  or,  if  possible:  in  him! 


I,  the  Spirit  of  the  New  Race,  have  come 
to  plead  with  you:  not  only  that  in  those 
who  are  yet  to  be  born  you  shall  offer  usable 
instruments  for  Me — but  that  in  you  your* 


self,  I  with  My  qualities,  may  find  expres- 
sion; in  order  that  you,  too,  may  be  worthy 
to  be  chosen  for  the  Coming  Race! 

I  plead  for  Purity  in  every  possible  way. 

In  the  first  place :  for  purity  of  sex  life — 
for  a  pure  use  of  all  creative  powers,  for 
creation  only. 

Stop  wasting  your  divinest  energy  in  self- 
gratification  of  the  lowest,  coarsest  kind! 
Transmute  it,  when  not  needed  for  the  crea- 
tion of  new  bodies,  into  the  power  of  creat- 
ing uplifting  words,  ennobling  thoughts, 
with  which  to  help  the  world.  Apply  your 
generative  powers  to  the  regeneration  of 
your  own  bodies.  Then  can  I,  the  Spirit  of 
the  New  Race,  be  born  within  you! 

To  men  and  women,  and  to  all  young  peo- 
ple is  My  call,  My  plea  for  Purity! 

Help  Me,  each  one  of  you.  Become  a 
ray  of  spotless  Purity,  around  which  the 
cloud  of  sensuality  cannot  remain  in  exist- 
ence. 


Passion — the  cause  sown  in  the  past,  re- 


suiting  now  in  painful  child-birth,  endless 
physical  disorders  and  mental  abnormalities 
— is  going  on  to  cause  still  worse  afflictions 
....  till  it  is  conquered.  Passion  is  the 
abnormally  stimulated  divine  impulse — 
grown  beyond  control  by  vicious  habit,  by 
continued  undue  thought.  You  are  its  slave 
— because  you  yourself  have  given  it  a  power 
over  you. 

Do  not  place  the  blame  on  your  Creator 
for  it  all!  You  have  yourself  developed 
this  natural  force  into  an  artificial  abnor- 
mality. Now,  you  yourself  will  have  to  con- 
quer it.  This,  you — each  one  of  you — must 
do,  before  you  will  be  ready  to  receive  Me. 

Where  you  wish  Me  to  come  and  build  a 
body,  even  the  sowing  of  the  seed  should 
take  place  without  passion.  Just  as  the 
pleasure  of  intoxicants,  and  of  strongly 
seasoned  food,  is  apt  to  naturally  vanish 
when  a  person  purifies  his  ways  of  living  and 
of  thinking — so  will  the  passionate  satisfac- 
tion of  sexual  intercourse  entirely  fall  away 
from  him  who  travels  on  the  road  towards 
perfect  Purity. 


29— 


The  Coming  Race,  rising  above  the  domi- 
nation of  the  senses,  will  know  no  pas- 
sion; it  will  have  acquired — and  live — that 
purer,  greater  love  which  seeks  no  bodily 
gratification.  Only  for  love's  sake,  for  the 
love  of  the  yet  unborn,  will  the  New  Race 
fulfill  nature's  most  holy  function — giving  to 
the  to-be-incarnated  souls  the  highest  it  can 
give, 

Free  yourself  from  passion  1 

Thus  will  you  help  yourself,  as  well  as 
help  Me.  For  with  every  step  you  take 
towards  greater  Purity,  a  greater  joy — abun- 
dant, pure,  and  lasting  joy — awaits  you. 


PURITY  FROM  CRIME 

Freedom  from  crime  I  want,  wherever  I 
come  down! 

Not  alone  from  what  you  at  the  present 
time  think  of  as  crime — but  from  what  I, 
the  Spirit  of  the  New  Race,  consider  to  be 
such. 

Acts  that  are  now  called  criminal  are  but 
the  coarsest  instances  of  what  is  criminal  in 
My  terminology. 

Millions  of  people  now  will  disagree  with 
Me,  But  all  will  share  My  viewpoint  .... 
when  they  themselves  are  ready  to  become 
members  of  the  Race  of  the  Future — when 
they  have  climbed  to  where  they  can  mani- 
fest Me. 


As  long  as  you  are  of  a  different  opinion, 
you  are  not  quite  ready  for  Me ! 

As  long  as  you  go  on  killing,  or  have 
creatures  killed  for  you — you  cannot  be  ac- 
cepted in  My  soon-coming  Race. 

I  need  bodies,  unstained  by  bloodshed,  un- 
blemished in  every  way.  Nor  may  there  be 
a  trace  of  cruelty  in  the  hearts  in  which  I 
shall  be  born ! 


No  slaughtering  shall  there  be  where  /  go  1 
For  slaughtering,  even  for  food,  is  a  break- 
ing of  My  Law — which  is  the  Law  of  Love. 

You,  who  think  it  necessary  because  you 
do  not  think;  you,  who  do  not  like  to  think 
about  it  because  you  like  it  so  much;  you, 
who  fill  your  stomach  with  corpses  for  fear 
of  becoming  one — know  this:  that  the  soul 
of  every  creature  which  is  killed  by,  or  for 
you,  sets  up  an  obstacle  on  the  road  between 
you  and  Me ! 

No  matter  what  you  are  devouring:  be  it 
meat  or  fish  or  fowl — I  consider  you  a  crim- 
inal, your  food  impure  and  foul. 


—32 


Think/ 

Think  how  you  value  life's  manifestation 
in  yourself.  So  does  each  thing  that  lives! 
Think  of  the  wondrous  structure  which  na- 
ture has  built  up  even  in  the  smallest  crea- 
ture which  you — unnecessarily,  as  many  a 
one  can  prove — are  chewing  as  a  food. 

Think!  Think  yourself  now  into  its  con- 
sciousness. Look  through  its  eyes — those 
beautiful,  pure  eyes,  through  which  Life 
(which  is  God)  looks  out  into  the  world. 

Feel  the  death  blow  that  strikes  it — if  it 
is  not  tortured  by  pitiless  proceedings,  such 
as  being  slowly  bled  to  death,  or  boiled  or 
skinned  alive  ....  in  order  that  your 
palate  may  be  tickled  by  more  'delicious' 
food !  Then  feel  its  fear  and  hatred  against 
humanity — which  do  go  out  into  the  atmos- 
phere and  must  react  on  man,  in  the  form  of 
suffering. 

Much  of  your  suffering — against  which 
you  are  rebellious,  and  which  you  call  unjust 
— may  be  the  consequence  of  your  own 
slaughtering  in  the  near  or  distant  past. 


33— 


Know :  there  is  no  injustice  in  the  universe ! 
What  comes  to  you,  you  have  caused;  what 
you  now  do  to  others,  by  deed  or  word  or 
thought,  will  react  on  you,  some  time. 

You  say,  you  never  kill — but  have  it 
done  for  you  ?  Then,  twofold  is  your  crime  ! 
First,  you  are  guilty  of  the  death  you  cause; 
and — thoughtlessly,  I  suppose — you  encour- 
age cruelty  in  some  of  your  fellowmen,  im- 
pelling them  to  deeds  for  which  they,  in  their 
future,  have  to  suffer.  Both  will  react  on 
you! 

I  know  your  reasoning:  something  must 
be  destroyed  to  keep  your  body  fed.  But  in 
your  power  it  is,  to  bring  destruction  down 
to  the  less  evolved  things — to  cause  less, 
ever  less  suffering.  Even  the  killing  of  the 
vegetable  kingdom  can  be  avoided,  if  you 
will  it  so :  when  your  compassion  grows  and 
takes  that  in.  For  on  the  fruit  of  assiduous 
plants  man  can  exist. 

It  is  for  you  to  expand  your  love;  so  will 
you  find  that  without  slaughtering,  you  yet 
can 


—34 


No  —  you  need  not  fear  that  cattle  and 
game  will  be  so  plentiful  (when  not  killed  off 
by  you)  that  they  will  overrun  your  gardens 
and  your  cities  and  your  homes.  Nor  will 
they  take  your  food. 

Love,  as  the  basis  of  your  attitude  and  ac- 
tions, will  never  bring  ill  to  you.  Love  is 
the  basis  of  Creation,  the  fundamental  Law 
of  the  whole  universe.  Where  love  is  lived, 
this  Law  itself  is  set  in  motion  to  adjust  con- 
ditions and  to  harmonize  all  things. 


Vwisectionf  I  shudder  when  I  think  of  it! 

How  is  it  possible  that  man  could  be  so 
misled  by  mental  fallacies,  that  he  commits 
—  even  indulges  in  —  this  scientific  crime? 

Man  —  in  your  hands  was  placed  the  care 
of  the  dumb,  defenseless  creatures,  to  lead 
them,  lift  them  up  to  a  more  highly  evolved 
stage.  They  are  your  younger  brothers  —  all 
of  one  family  in  the  Creator's  mind. 

You  stand  accused  of  crime  I 

For    you    have    not    alone    enslaved,    ill- 


treated,  and  exploited  the  helpless  ones  for 
selfish  purposes — but  starved,  and  frozen 
alive,  sliced,  ripped  and  sawed,  burned,  baked 
and  butchered,  scalded  and  scalped  God's 
living  creatures.  Unscrupulously  dabbling  in 
the  blood  and  agony  of  sentient,  sensitive 
beings,  you  have  caused  excruciating  pain  by 
the  cowardly  and  cursed  practice  of  vivisec- 
tion. 

Instead  of  older  brothers,  loving  guides, 
you  have  been  vicious  brutes  and  monstrous 
torturers. 

This  still  goes  on! 

Pity  the  poor  'little  ones'  who,  by  the 
thousands,  serve  the  experiments. 

But,  after  all,  have  more  pity  on  those 
deluded  beings  who  make  the  experiments! 
For  the  effects  of  their  willful  cruelty  will 
be  terrible.  No  one  can  keep  from  them 
what — after  death,  and  in  other  lives  on 
earth — they  shall  experience.  All  acts  re- 
act— such  is  the  Law.  By  their  own  fright- 
fulness,  they  have  stored  up  great  cause  for 
suffering.  This  must  work  out  on  them — 
that  they,  by  suffering,  may  learn  to  spare, 


-3€ 


and  to  protect  all  things  that  live. 

Have  pity  on  them! 

But  do  not  dodge  your  own  responsibility. 
For  you  yourself  have  helped — are  helping 
yet,  I  fear — to  strengthen  and  encourage  the 
vivisector  in  his  inhuman  deeds. 

By  your  own  cruelty — be  it  of  ages  past — 
you  have  created,  in  super-ethereal  matter, 
thought  entities,  which,  gathered  together, 
intensify  the  experimenter's  horrible  inclina- 
tions. Then,  by  your  approbation,  or  by 
protesting  only  half-heartedly,  or  by  indif- 
ference on  this  vital  point,  you  are  partakers 
of  the  crime. 

Do  you  approve  of  vivisection,  because 
you  think  (erroneously  though  it  be)  that  it 
helps  to  cure  disease?  Remember  then: 
pain  and  disease  result  from  a  breaking  of 
the  Law,  and  cannot  be  overcome  by  break- 
ing the  Law  again.  The  cosmic  Law  of  Love 
and  Justice  cannot  be  evaded. 

Perhaps  you  still  believe  that  vivisection 
may  help  to  prolong  your  life,  or  that  of 
those  near  and  dear  to  you.  But  even  if 


37— 


this  were  true  and  possible :  /  would  rather 
have  no  bodies  than  such  as  are  kept  alive  at 
the  cost  of  suffering  of  whatever- creature 
it  be! 

This  viewpoint  must  be  y-ours,  if  you  wish 
to  side  with  Me ! 


Your  laws  forbid  murder — and  yet  you 
murder  murderers  .  ...  by  law!  Only  dis- 
torted brains  can  deem  this  logical !  But 
human  laws  and  brains  both  lack  perfection, 
both  still  lack  Purity. 

When  I,  in  the  children  of  the  Future 
Race,  am  born,  there  will  be  purer  brains, 
and  no  laws,  but :  the  Law — i.  e. :  the  Law  of 
Love. 

They  will  live  by  this  Law,  and  need  no 
man-made  laws.  And  they  will  know  .... 
more  than  you  now  can  know. 

But  even  you  should  know :  that  in  a  crim- 
inal the  owner  of  the  body  is  diseased;  the 
entity  within  is  the  one  who  commits  the 
crime,  using  the  body  as  its  instrument. 


You  may  kill  the  body — but  the  man  him- 
self lives  on. 

You  liberate  the  man — who,  after  the 
execution,  is  much  more  dangerous  than  he 
ever  was  before.  For — filled  with  revenge 
and  hatred,  in  addition  to  other  wrongs — he 
will  go  on  spreading,  unchecked  in  any  way, 
his  ominous  influence. 

Caught  in  the  body,  you  can  limit  the  de- 
praved actions  of  the  indwelling  entity,  con- 
trol it,  better  it.  Thrown  out  of  its  physical 
vesture,  beyond  human  control,  it  gravitates 
towards  those  who  have  similar  vicious  pro- 
pensities— inciting  them  to  villainous  acts, 
using  them  as  its  tools,  its  mediums  for  re- 
venge. 

Thus,  legalized  murder  makes  more  mur- 
derers. 

Therefore,  again:  kill  not — not  even  crim- 
inals. Their  death  does  not  help  you — nor 
does  it  help  them. 

Restrain  their  actions,  while  you  cure 
their  souls.  Treat  them  as  patients,  for  they 
are  morally  sick.  Their  souls  are  young — 
young  as  your  own  once  was — and  weak,  and 


39— 


ignorant.  Give  them  of  your  own  wisdom, 
of  your  own  moral  strength.  Apply  the  Law 
of  Love! 

If  you  really  are  the  older,  more  highly 
evolved  one,  your  duty  is  to  help,  to  guide,  to 
teach,  to  love.  But  if  you  continue  to  exe- 
cute and  despise  ....  you  are  not  yet  far 
evolved  above  the  criminal.  You  are  then 
yourself  guilty  of  a  lack  of  understanding 
and  of  love — from  which  results  all  crime. 


No  hunting  can  there  be — be  it  for  fash- 
ion's sake  or  as  a  sport — where  I  shall  man- 
ifest. Whoever  does  it,  or  causes  it  to  be  done, 
commits  a  serious  crime  against  My  moral 
code,  which  is  wholly  based  on  love. 

Your  furs  which  you  are  so  fond  of,  be- 
cause they  ....  cost  so  much  (their  price 
was  the  suffering  and  the  life  of  animals, 
which,  indeed,  is  far  too  much!)  ; 

your  feathers,  torn  from  slain  (oft  only 
injured  birds,  whose  nests  of  young  are  left 
to  starve — that  you  may  go  about  with  a 
fashionable'  hat; 


the  skin  of  unborn  bodies,  cut  from  the 
mother's  womb  to  give  your  hands  soft  cov- 
ering .... 

the  very  sight  of  all  this  hurts  every  cell 
in  Me;  and  where  such  things  are  worn,  I 
needs  must  stay  afar. 

Do  you  not  realize  that  such  ornaments 
are  laden  with  a  curse — and  that  each  one 
who  touches  them  for  greed's  or  vanity's 
sake  will  be  subjected  to  its  fatal  influences? 

Do  you  not  realize  that  your  adornment 
is  detestably  distasteful  in  the  eyes  of  anyone 
who — as  I — can  see  and  sense  the  pain  and 
anguish  attached  to  it? 

You,  many  of  you — on  the  ground  of 
moral  principles,  of  tenderheartedness — 
would  never  think  of  doing  with  your  own 
hands  what  you  allow  others  to  do  for  you. 

But  you  are  just  as  guilty — if  only  of  a 
lack  of  love,  which  counts  heavily  with  Me — 
as  the  one  who  does  the  killing,  for  your  ill- 
chosen  means  of  comfort  and  satisfaction. 


Killing  for  sport,  for  amusement,  is  an 
atrocious  thing — incomprehensible  to  all  the 
children  of  the  Race  that  is  to  come. 

Did  you  ever  saunter  through  field  or 
forest,  on  a  lovely  day  when  the  deep  blue 
of  the  sky,  the  golden  sunshine  on  the  trees 
and  foliage,  the  fresh  green  grass  and  shrubs 
work  as  an  inspiration?  Could  they  'in- 
spire' you  then:  to  go  and  kill  something? 

Did  you  ever  come  across  the  bloody 
trail  of  a  wounded  animal,  or  find  a  dying 
creature,  shot,  but  not  killed  outright  by 
hunters,  wantonly  'sporting7?  Or  did  you 
see  an  animal  caught  in  the  iron  jaws  of  a 
cruelly  squeezing  trap,  and  see  its  agony,  its 
desperate  efforts  to  regain  its  liberty? 

Could  you  then  go  and  kill — kill  these  life- 
loving  creatures  who,  like  yourself,  enjoy  the 
happiness  of  existence  in  the  realms  of 
bounteous  nature?  Could  you  still  go,  de- 
stroying these  unsuspecting,  living  things — 
just  for  the  sake  of  boasting  about  the  num- 
bers you  had  killed? 

Then  go  and  do  those  things,  if  you  can- 


—42 


not  resist  the  longings  which  make  you  thirst 
for  murder  and  for  blood.  But  do  not  think 
that  where  /  am,  you  ever  can  come  near. 
The  joy  and  beauty  of  the  New  Race  will  be 
protected  from  your  influence — for  your 
mere  presence  would  defile  its  Purity. 

Even  hunting  beasts  of  prey  will  not  be 
done  by  those  who  aspire  to  form  a  link 
with  Me. 

Such  creatures  are  the  outcome  of  your 
own  cruelty.  As,  in  the  past — in  lives  long 
past — you  trained  domestic  animals  to  help 
you  on  your  hunts,  you  have  evolved  those 
species  which  you  yourself  now  fear.  You 
have  imbued  them  with  your  cruelty.  Beast 
preys  on  beast  ....  because  man  taught 
him  so.  All  murderous  instinct — in  all  crea- 
tures— is  of  human  origin! 

Great  is  the  guilt  of  rnao  towards  the  ani- 
mal kingdom.  When  will  he  be  willing  to 
expunge  his  debts,  and — by  deeds  of  mercy 
and  of  kindness — obliterate  his  outrageous 
transgressions? 

Man  was,  and  is,  the  one  discordant  note 


in  nature's  symphony —  the  one  dark  blot  on 
the  work  of  the  Creator.  Man  has  become 
a  menace  to  the  consummate  fulfilment  of 
God's  plan.  Yet  is  he  meant  to  be — and  still 
destined  to  be — its  most  glorious  culmina- 
tion. 

To  him  was  given  .^//-consciousness,  the 
power  of  thought,  to  use  for  the  unfoldment 
of  his  divine  qualities.  Greatly  abused  has 
he  the  godlike  gift  that  was  bestowed  upon 
him. 

But  in  the  future  he  will  attain  to  SELF- 
consciousness — and  know  all  Life  as  One. 
Then  will  he  undo  the  evil  that  in  the  past 
he  did.  Then  will  he  learn  to  love  all,  as 
he  loves  himself  now. 


Yes — even  vermin,  even  what  you  call 
'pests' ! 

They  are  the  outcome  of  your  hatred,  of 
human  evil  thoughts.  Think  not  that  just  by 
'killing'  you  can  free  yourself  from  them. 
Your  own  thoughts  live  in  them.  And  those 
will  take  new  forms — with  venom  intensified, 


caused  by  the  horrid  feelings  with  which  you 
still  can  kill. 

These  are  the  facts,  known  to  the  ones 
who  fully  know  the  Law — facts,  visible  in 
subtler  realms,  invisible  to  man,  who  is 
blinded  by  self-made  obstacles  of  ignorance 
and  sin. 

Study — and  live — the  Law.  Then  will 
you  know  and  see! 

Your  envy  and  your  ill-temper;  your 
greed  and  mercilessness;  your  stinging  criti- 
cism; your  own  uncleanliness;  your  secret 
ugly  thoughts  which  you  have  been  sending 
out  so  superabundantly  from  day  to  day,  and 
almost  every  hour — all  these  instill  into  ver- 
min the  very  qualities  that  make  them  a  nui- 
sance to  you. 

Destruction  of  the  forms  will  not  destroy 
the  thoughts  which  are  essential  to  the  ver- 
min life.  But  you  must  stop  your  hatred, 
your  fear,  your  unkind  thoughts.  Only  by 
purer  thoughts- — only  by  thoughts  of  love — 
can  you  eradicate  the  power  which,  in  the 
past  (be  it  only  yesterday)  you  have  stirred 
up  by  your  own  loveless  thinking. 


Sages — and  even  ordinary  human  beings 
— have  proven   that:  no  beasts   or   vermin 
bother  those    who   live   the   Law   of   Love 
.  that  is:  who  love  all  Life. 


Some  day,  you  will  know  as  /  know:  that 
the  One  Life  is  manifest  in  all.  To  kill  is  to 
rob  Life  of  its  form — which,  after  all,  is: 
robbing  God  of  a  form  for  His  expression. 

All  Life  is  He. 

Life,  the  mysterious  power  that  man  can 
never  control,  is  the  Divine  Itself — the  One 
Reality  in  all,  in  you,  in  Me. 


PURITY  FROM  POISON 

Why  do  you  all — or  almost  all — eat 
poisons,  and  drink  them,  breathe  them,  and 
inject  them  into  your  own  blood  ? 

Just  because  others  do  it?  Through 
thoughtless  habit?  To  please  your  physical 
senses?  For  fear  of  sickness  and  of  death? 
To  seek  forgetfulness  from  troubles  and 
from  boredom  ?  Or,  for  what  other  reason  ? 

None  of  these  motives  appear  very  sound 
to  Me.  None  of  these  could  influence  the 
spiritually  evolved,  who  seek  the  Purity 
which  the  New  Race  will  have. 

To  that  Race,  not  only  will  the  present 
use  of  poisons  seem  the  greatest  folly — but 
the  arguments  for  their  use  Avill  be  quoted 


47— 


as  proof  sufficient  of  the  lamentable  state  of 
moral  and  mental  development  of  today's 
humanity. 

The  lack  of  individual  convictions;  the 
giddy-headedness;  the  willing  submission  to 
the  rulership  of  bodily  wants  and  won'ts; 
the  ignorance  about  the  continuity  of  con- 
scious existence;  the  weakness  of  attempting 
to  elude  life's  lessons — all  these  are  proofs 
of  a  young  stage  of  evolution,  which  has  to 
be  outgrown  before  admission  into  the  Com- 
ing Race  can  be  obtained. 

No  poison  will  impair  the  Purity  of  that 
enlightened  Race! 


Meat — is  it  necessary  for  Me  to  tell  you 
that  it  is  poisonous  ....  in  addition  to  the 
fact  that  crime  is  attached  to  it? 

Not  only  are  the  animals  frequently  dis- 
eased; not  only  do  you  make  a  grave-yard  of 
your  own  digestive  organs,  and  thus  pollute 
your  body  with  the  decaying  remnants  of 
cadavers;  but  also  is  their  blood  the  carrier 
of  animal  qualities:  by  eating  meat  you  build 


—4$ 


those  into  you.  You  strengthen  animalism 
in  yourself,  which  you  are  intended  to  out- 
grow. And  the  anger,  fear  and  hatred 
which  fill  the  animals  as  they  are  slaughtered 
— these  go  into  their  blood  ....  and 
poison  you.  > 

It  makes  you  irritable,  emotional  and  rest- 
less; stirs  up  your  passions;  sets  up  a  thirst 
for  fiery  drinks  and  spices. 

All  kinds  of  reasons  there  are — hygienic, 
physiological,  economical,  ethical,  occult — 
why  you  should  not  eat  meat.  Read,  if  you 
like,  the  'pros'  for  swallowing  it — and  also 
read  the  'cons'.  Then  (without  worrying 
about  your  shape  of  teeth  or  the  length  of 
your  intestines)  look  around,  and  see  the 
convincing  fact:  that  many  live  quite  joyously 
without  it. 

But  above  all  this,  bethink  what  I  now  say : 
no  blood  may  pass  the  lips  of  those  in  whom 
I  shall  manifest!  And  not  a  single  creature 
shall  be  allowed  to  die  or  suffer  for  their 
sake. 


Alcohol  ....  yes,  taken  in  quantity  you 
all  agree  that  it  is  detrimental.  But  you 
should  also  know  that  every  drop  of  it  is 
poisonous. 

Whether  gulped  down  the  throat  as  liquor, 
or  carefully  apportioned  as  a  medicine, 
sniffed  up  in  perfume,  or  rubbed  into  the 
skin,  natural  or  camouflaged,  or  when  de- 
natured— it  is  always  injurious  to  moral  and 
to  mental  as  well  as  to  physical  health.  And 
every  bit  of  it — its  faintest  odor  in  the  at- 
mosphere— draws  undesirable  entities  who 
make  the  world  around  you  impure.  In  this 
way,  too,  it  is  poison  for  yourself,  and  for 
those  who  are  close  to  you. 

It  may  briskly  stimulate,  inciting  wit,  quick 
action,  and  a  sensation — though  deceptive — 
of  feeling  extremely  well.  It  acts  like  a 
flaring  fire :  a  brilliant  display  ....  fol- 
lowed by  desolation. 

In  reality  it  dulls.  Dulls  brain  capacity. 
Dulls  the  keen  sensitiveness  of  the  nerves. 
Dulls  the  ability  of  judging  sensibly.  Dulls 
the  digestive  powers.  Dulls  muscular  vigor. 


—BO 


Dulls   moral   stamina.      Dulls    clear    vision. 
Dulls  practically  every  organ. 

Most  harmful  of  all :  it  dulls — even  when 
taken  in  minutest  quantities — those  organs 
which,  in  latent  potentiality,  contain  man's 
power  of  superphysical  vision;  and  more 
than  that:  of  spirituality.  Long  discarded 
and  unused — put,  and  kept  out  of  operation 
by  man's  own  impurity — these  organs  will 
be  revived  in  the  children  of  My  Race. 

Only  by  Purity — not  alone  from  alcohol, 
but  from  all  passion  and  poison — can  they 
regain  their  true  function. 


What  has  been  said  of  alcohol,  applies  to 
opium,  morphine  and  other  drugs.  And 
even  to  tobacco.  For  nicotine  is  poison — 
albeit  that  some  can  smoke,  and  live  a  hun- 
dred years. 

Tobacco  soothes — which  is  to  say :  it  stupe- 
fies emotions,  nerves  and  mind,  and  all  those 
faculties  which  are  also  affected  by  the  use  of 
alcohol. 

Although   not  criminal  like   eating  meat, 


61— 


not  tending  towards  crime  like  using  alcohol 
— smoking,  in  one  way,  is  more  apparently 
objectionable  than  either.  The  smoker,  with 
his  pernicious  habit,  pollutes  the  atmosphere 
to  the  disgust  and  danger  of  the  health  of 
those  around  him.  First  with  his  smoke, 
and  afterwards  with  his  breath  and  nauseous, 
evilly  magnetic  emanations,  he  makes  him- 
self an  offensive  nuisance. 

The  disregard  for  the  interests  of  others, 
by  which  the  smoker  proves  his  utter  selfish- 
ness— this  in  itself  would  make  it  quite  im- 
possible for  any  member  of  My  Future 
Race  to  smoke. 


The  most  dangerous  group  of  poisons — 
though  scientifically  prescribed — are  vaccines, 
serums  and  all  those  obnoxious  things  which 
you  allow  to  be  injected,  infecting  your  very 
blood.  This  superstitious  practice,  this  dan- 
gerous medical  craze,  is  the  most  ludicrous 
fallacy  of  science  run  amuck. 

Wild  tribes  (how  foolish!)   look  most 


reverently  at  the  dances  and  performances 
of  their  Vise1  medicine  man. 

Your  ancestors  (how  stupid!)  submitted 
most  trustfully  to  the  crude  bloodletting 
operations  by  their  Vise'  medical  men — who 
eagerly  applied  it  to  whatever  ailed  the 
crowd. 

You  now  (how  ....  what?)  most  con- 
fidingly permit  your  medical  faculty  to  let 
putrid,  septic  matter  contaminate  your  blood. 

Worst  of  all,  these  serums — themselves 
products  of  disease — have  been  obtained  at 
the  cost  of  suffering :  by  vivisectional  experi- 
ments on  animals,  and  occasionally  on  men ! 

For  this,  more  than  for  any  other  reason, 
the  practice  of  inoculation  stands  in  the  New 
Race  condemned! 

There,  disease  will  be  prevented.  Not  by 
absorbing  poison,  or  by  injecting  pus — but 
by  sane  and  sanitary  living;  by  purity  of 
food,  of  every  deed,  of  thought. 

Only  by  Purity! 


It  is  habits — senseless  habits — you  arc  ad- 


dieted  to.  They  poison  your  existence,  spoil 
your  pure  joy  of  life. 

By  your  habits — thoughtless  habits — you 
have  built  up  the  instincts  and  the  cravings 
of  your  body  which  demand  obedience  of 
you.  You  have  become  slaves  of  habit,  in- 
stead of  masters  of  destiny! 

By  habit  you  do  all  you  do.  By  habit  you 
slur  through  life — grasping  all  passing  pleas- 
ures ....  instead  of  winning  that  great 
and  permanent  joy  which  comes  with  Purity 
and  freedom  from  the  rulership  of  habits. 

My  Race  will  have  entirely  risen  above  the 
poisonous  dominion  of  restricting  growth- 
impeding  habits! 


PURITY  FROM  PETTINESS 

You,  Gods-to-be — you,  who  would  know 
that  you  are  God,  if  you  but  knew  your  SELF 
....  what  are  you  yet  but  tiny  tin-gods  on 
a  homemade  pedestal  ?  Hollow  at  that,  both 
base  and  statuette;  inside  them  naught  but 
choking  air  with  which  you  inflate  your  self. 

It  would  be  amusing  ....  if  it  were  not 
so  pitifully  petty,  if  pettiness  were  not  the 
key-note  of  your  lives !  Please  note  :  it  is  not 
your  neighbors  that  I  have  reference  to — 
but  decidedly  to  the  pettiness  in  you. 

Review  your  days. 

Consider  carefully  the  motives  for  each 
deed.  Weigh  on  a  balance  all  your  selfish- 
ness: all  that  you  did  to  please  and  glorify 


56— 


your  own  personality.  And  on  precision 
scales  measure  out  your  love :  all  that  you 
did  for  others,  in  perfect  selflessness.  (I 
hope  you  will  find  a  pair  sufficiently  sensi- 
tive.) 

Compare  the  two  results. 

Then  say  whether  you  would  still  blame 
Me,  if  I  stated  that  your  whole  life  seems 
petty. 


How,  in  the  mornings,  do  you  get  up  ? 

Just  sluggishly,  because  your  shop,  your 
office,  your  routine  work  needs  attention? 
Or  sometimes  gleefully,  when  you  look  for- 
ward to  an  agreeable  happening:  a  trip,  a 
party,  or  a  present,  some  special  profit,  or 
the  visit  of  someone  that  will  give  joy  to 
you? 

Did  you  ever  greet  the  daybreak  buoy- 
antly, filled  with  the  thought  of  what  this 
day  may  enable  you  to  do  for  others'  sake? 
To  lessen  pain,  to  impart  happiness,  to  help 
with  all  the  means  that  you  have  at  your 
disposal — not  alone  by  what  you  have,  but 
bv  all  that  vou  can  be? 


This  is  how  all  My  Children  will  arise : 
filled  with  that  purest  joy  of  self-forgetful- 
ness.  If  yours  are  other  motives  .... 
they  are  petty. 


What  do  you  work  for? 

Just  for  the  daily  bread  of  your  own 
family?  To  add  to  your  material  posses- 
sions? To  keep  up — or  improve — your 
social  standing?  To  acquire  for  yourself 
a  name,  and  maybe  fame? 

Or,  for  the  betterment  of  conditions  for 
your  fellowmen — even  if  no  salary,  no 
write-ups  in  the  papers,  no  recognition  from 
any  side  results  from  it  for  you  ? 

Is  petty  selfishness,  or  unreserved  self- 
lessness your  incentive? 


What  have  you  a  family  for?  What  did 
you  marry  for? 

Just  because  you  wanted  happiness?  Be- 
cause you  thought  of  the  pleasure  and  the 
comfort  that  it  would  bring  to  you?  Even 


67— 


with  so-called  love :  did  you  not  mostly  con- 
sider the  advantages  that  it  would  have  for 
you?  Do  not  pretend  that  you  did  it  for 
love's  sake,  if  in  reality  it  was  for  self s 
sake,  to  accommodate  the  puny,  selfish 
'you9! 

My  Children  will  not  be  led  by  any  such 
petty  thoughts.  Only  unselfish  reasons  will 
guide  their  every  step.  As  a  result :  a  happi- 
ness that  you — with  the  utmost  brain  strain 
— have  no  idea  of. 


What  are  you  eating  for — three,  four, 
five  times  a  day? 

Do  you  eat  to  live,  and  to  be  able  to  work 
better — or  do  you  work,  and  apparently  only 
live,  in  order  to  eat  better,  more  epicurishly? 

Are  dinners  and  delicacies  still  desirable 
attentions  to  be  offered  to  your  friends — by 
them  again  to  be  repaid  to  you? 

Do  recipes  for  new  dishes,  for  soups,  pies 
and  desserts  still  fill  a  large  percentage  of 
your  daily  talk  and  thought? 

Is  your  kitchen  still  your  shrine  room,  the 


cooking  stove  the  altar  on  which  you  bring 
offerings — blood  offerings  at  that — to  the 
highest  you  can  worship? 

Is  your  stomach  still  the  sun  of  your  ex- 
istence, around  which  a  system  of  numerous 
'plan-eats'  and  *come-eats\  in  dyspeptic  dis- 
harmony, everlastingly  revolves? 

Then,  pettiness  (I  am  sorry)  is  para- 
mount in  you. 


Why  do  you  dress — in  full  or  in  half 
dress? 

To  protect  your  body  from  weather  in- 
fluences— which  can  be  done  in  graceful 
simplicity? 

Or:  to  parade;  to  make  others  think  that 
you  are  somebody;  to  proudly  revel  in  beauty 
which  others  can  not  have;  to  be  admired; 
to  excite  jealousy;  and  to  attract  attention? 

If  so — go  on,  you  slaves  of  fickleness  and 
fashion.  Do  not  let  Me  bother  you.  Con- 
tinue being  petty;  indulge  in  hats  and  haber- 
dashery, and  expensive  petty-coats.  On  you 


I  need  not  count  for  the  establishing  of  the 
glorious,  free  New  Race! 


Why  have  you  a  religion,  or  a  philosophy? 
Why  do  you  go  to  church,  or  to  religious 
meetings? 

Because  your  parents  do?  Because  it  is 
customary?  Because  it  gives  a  splendid  op- 
portunity to  make  acquaintances?  To  in- 
sure a  reserved  seat  in  heaven?  Because  a 
ceremony,  or  a  well  worded  lecture,  makes 
you  feel — through  emotionalism — exception- 
ally good?  Because  your  concrete  mind  de- 
lights in  definitions  and  speculations  about 
vague  and  far-off  things? 

None  of  these  petty  reasons  seem  plausi- 
ble to  Me.  Only  as  an  expression  of  your 
inner  divinity,  as  an  irresistible  desire  to 
realize  your  inherent  link  with  God — thus 
only  are  religion  or  philosophy  true  values, 
instead  of  spurious  shams. 


Your    very    virtues    are,    too    frequently, 


—SO 


petty  vices  in  disguise.  Some  of  you  are  so 
full  of  virtue  that  you  make  yourselves  un- 
bearable, and,  by  your  self-complacency, 
cause  pain  to  others.  True  virtue  never 
harms. 

You  are  very  kind — sometimes,  when  con- 
ditions are  suitable,  when  you  are  in  the  right 
mood,  when  it  may  serve  your  special  pur- 
poses. If  you  are  truly  kind,  you  are  always 
kind,  and  make  no  distinctions. 

You  are  charitable — on  official  subscrip- 
tion lists. 

You  give  liberally — in  order  to  gain,  no 
matter  what:  love,  friendship,  recognition, 
satisfaction,  gratitude. 

You  are  full  of  joy — when  everything 
goes  well  with  you. 

You  are  humorous — no  matter  whether  it 
may  hurt  somebody's  feelings,  if  people  but 
call  you  smart.  Your  humor  only  humors 
your  vain  personality. 

You  love  to  do  your  work  perfectly — in 
order  to  excel,  to  be  considered  more  than 
others. 

You  adore  the  beautiful,  in  music,  in  all 


art — with  the  one  wish:  to  have  it  for  your 
own  enjoyment  and  glorification.  What 
your  rival  has,  or  has  produced,  can  not  be 
beautiful,  of  course, 

You  long  for  spiritual  development — not 
that  you  may  help  others,  but  to  be  helped,  in 
order  to  become  more  than  your  fellowmen 
— not  to  serve  the  world,  but  to  rule,  and 
gain  authority. 

/  know  your  motives — better  than  you  do 
yourself.  I  shall  not  undervalue  a  single  one 
of  you.  But  you  must  know  yourself:  your 
little  'self  first,  with  all  its  pettiness — before 
you  can  know  your  SELF. 


Why  do  you  talk — and  talk? 

About  the  weather;  about  your  health; 
about  your  food;  about  your  own  affairs, 
and  even  about  those  of  others;  about  peo- 
ple whom  you  know — but  usually  do  not 
know;  and  about  all  kinds  of  petty  nothing- 
ness? 

Is  it  just  a  habit  which  you  cannot  stop? 


—62 


Can  you  not  grow  beyond  the  stage  of  prat- 
tling children?  It  is  worse  than  that:  child's 
talk  is  innocent — is  yours  always?  When 
you  gossip?  When  you  repeat  an  unkind 
story  about  friends  or  strangers?  Do  you 
know  their  motives,  all  their  difficulties,  the 
lessons  they  have  to  learn,  the  struggles  they 
have  to  fight?  If  you  did,  you  would  not 
speak  about  them  in  the  way  you  do. 

Is  there  nothing  better  to  be  done  than  to 
indulge  in  this  petty  talk,  talk,  TALK?  You 
waste  your  time,  your  energy — your  oppor- 
tunity to  hear  the  wise  and  loving  Voice  of 
your  true  SELF. 

You  do  not  even  know  that  there  is  such 
a  Voice  ?  Because  you  talk  too  much !  Be- 
cause you  are  always  occupied  with  your 
petty  little  'self  and  its  material  interests ! 

My  children  in  the  Coming  Race  will 
know  and  understand  the  Voice  of  SELF — 
and  readily  listen  to  it. 

And  then  ....  do  not  forget  that  sound 
creates.  Speech  is  creative  force.  The  man- 
ifested universe  was  actually  created  by  the 


Logoic  Word.    So  do  your  words  create. 

Every  word  you  utter,  every  noise  you 
make,  sets  up  vibration  in  the  physical 
ether.  Where  does  it  stop — and  when?  No- 
where— and  never!  It  goes  out  and  out — 
and  on  and  on.  Your  chattering  and  jabber- 
ing disturbs  the  harmony  of  the  whole  uni- 
verse! And  for  eternity  the  origin  of  the  dis- 
turbance can  be  traced  back  to  you. 

Better  be  silentf  than  abuse  this  mighty 
creative  force  in  senseless,  thoughtless,  use- 
less, aimless,  endless  talk! 


Why  do  you  live — and  die? 

Do  you  think  there  is  no  reason  for  such 
events  as  birth  and  death?  Do  you  think 
they  are  just  'happenings'  ?  Or  do  you  not 
think  at  all? 

Do  you  only  live  because  you  cannot  help 
it,  and  die  without  knowing  why?  Do  you 
fear  death,  for  fear  of  losing  'life',  losing 
all  your  property,  losing  consciousness  of 
'self'? 

The  time  will  come  when  vou  will  realize 


that  your  own  life  is  eternal.  Then  will 
the  'self — that  petty,  selfish  'self  with  all 
its  separateness — appear  to  you  like  an  un- 
wieldy load  that  has  been  hindering  your 
growth. 

Better  shake  that  burden  off  while  you  are 
what  you  call  'living' :  for  death  will  not  free 
you  from  it. 

t/w-self  yourself.  Then  will  you  really — 
and  for  ever,  in  unbroken  consciousness — 
live! 

Perhaps  you  think  that — though  there 
may  be  a  reason  for  life  as  well  as  death — 
you  are  not  supposed,  not  even  allowed  to 
know? 

You,  man — created  in  the  likeness  of  the 
Almighty  God — do  you  think  you  can  be  like 
Him  without  omniscience?  You  are  He — 
in  latency,  in  undeveloped  powers.  But  by 
your  pettiness  you  limit  His  expression ! 

Investigate!  Think!  Know!  Unfold 
your  latent  powers !  Become  almighty — and 
omniscient!  No  expression  of  life  is  too  in- 


significant — nothing  too  great  for  your  un- 
derstanding. There  is  no  secret  in  the  uni- 
verse that  you  are  not  to  know/ 

Outgrow  your  pettiness! 

Throw  off  the  chains  which  limit  your 
SELF-expression :  your  trifling  habits  and 
imaginary  duties,  your  thoughtless  going-on 
along  customary  ways,  your  fear  to  differ 
from  your  surroundings,  your  fear  of  any- 
thing. 

All  that  belongs  to  'self  must  go.  Then 
— and  then  only — manifests  the  SELF. 

Set  to  work — and  do  not  despair. 

Even  the  biggest  fool  will  evolve  into  a 
tool  in  the  hands  of  the  Great  Architect, 
Who  will  finally  express  the  glory  of  His 
Being  through  all  His  creatures. 

Hasten  the  process  of  your  evolution. 

Thus  will  you  speed  the  coming  of  My 
lofty,  fearless  Raccl 


PURITY  OF  SOCIAL  CONDITIONS 

Unsolved  social  problems  throw  a  black 
shadow  upon  present  humanity :  problems  of 
capital  and  labor;  of  wealth  and  poverty;  of 
child's  and  woman's  welfare,  and  of  destitu- 
tion of  invalids  and  aged;  of  wages  and 
working  hours;  of  overwork  and  unemploy- 
ment; of  vice  and  unutilized  benevolence;  of 
crime  and  charity;  of  hygiene  and  disease; 
of  tenements  and  untilled  land;  of  power  for 
the  few,  and  slavery  for  the  many;  of  trusts 
and  lack  of  trust;  of  money  ....  and  lack 
of  money! 

These  problems  are  the  weeds  in  what 
could  be  the  enchanting,  luxuriant  garden  of 
human  civilization.  But  you  have  mistaken 


•7— 


them  for  the  permanent  growth.  You  have 
protected  them  instead  of  the  superb  vegeta- 
tion that  you  were  intended  to  foster — until 
they  have  smothered  all  the  more  delicate 
plants,  which  need  full  sunlight,  need  to  be 
bathed  in  rays  of  Divinity. 

The  weeds  were  easier  to  grow.  Now 
they  have  grown  above  your  heads — thick 
as  a  forest — and  you  begin  to  feel  the  chill 
that  hangs  in  their  shadow.  You  long  for 
sunshine — and  try  to  trim  and  clip  the 
gigantic  weeds,  in  order  that  a  little  ray  may 
penetrate  to  you. 

Do  you  contemplate  cutting  the  plants,  to 
get  more  warmth,  more  light?  Be  careful 
what  you  do!  If  the  root  remains,  it  will 
sprout  again :  your  cutting  will  not  help,  until 
you  pull  out  the  root.  That  root  is :  selfish- 
ness! Not  alone  in  others — but  in  you! 

Clean  out  that  little  plot,  which  has  been 
entrusted  to  you !  To  clean  those  of  all  your 
neighbors  is  far  too  great  a  task :  that  is  not 
expected  of  you.  First  clear  your  own — 
and  do  it  for  their  sake :  that  they  may  be 
able  to  enjoy  the  light  thrown  on  your  garden, 


—68 


and  the  beauty  of  the  tender  plants  of  Love, 
with  fragrant  blooms  of  Purity  that  will  take 
the  place  of  weeds. 

Then — seeing  what  you  have  done,  and 
what  you  have  attained — they  will  soon  fol- 
low your  example,  and  readily  accept  your 
unobtrusive  help.  Ere  long  no  weed  will  re- 
main. Its  roots  will  be  destroyed.  And  no 
more  shadows  will  be  cast  by  the  outcome  of 
selfishness  upon  the  joy  of  being  of  the  human 
race. 

Then  will  My  Race  spread  out  over  the 
earth,  abiding  in  those  Gardens  of  selfless 
Love  and  perfect  Purity,  which  you  can  now 
prepare.  And  you  yourself — by  the  power 
of  your  un-selfed  SELF — will  belong  to  that 
sublime  New  Race,  and,  with  the  others,  will 
enjoy  the  fruits  of  the  prolific  plants  which 
you  must  now  guard  and  cherish. 


I  do  not  deal  with  each  problem  separate- 
ly. I  shall  not  show  you  how  to  potter  about, 
repairing  leaks,  replastering  here  and  there, 
and  covering  with  fresh  paint  soiled  spots  on 


your  tottering  building  of  civilization. 

Keep  it  up  as  best  you  can.  Go  on  living 
in  it  ....  until  a  new  home  shall  be  ready. 

Meantime :  combine  your  efforts  in  erect- 
ing a  New  Building.  Lay  the  foundation  of 
an  all-enduring  selflessness;  raise  the  walls 
of  a  protective  love ;  and  decorate  with  unde- 
filable  purity.  Provide,  for  all  alike,  the  fur- 
nishings of  brotherly  thoughts  and  joy. 

Then  move — and  leave  behind  your  trash 
of  social  problems:  you  will  have  neither 
place  nor  use  for  them. 

Keep  the  old  structure  as  a  museum,  with 
relics  of  a  queer  and  foolish  past.  No  one 
will  ever  want,  or  need  to  live  in  it  again; 
provided:  you  do  your  share  in  helping  to 
construct  the  new  edifice — provided  you  join 
the  workers  who  are  preparing  the  world  for 
the  beauteous  New  Race. 


Problems  exist  only  for  the  ones  who  are 
still  ignorant.  To  Those  Who  guide  human 
evolution — to  the  Teachers  of  the  child  hu- 
manity— your  social  problems  do  not  any 

—70 


more  exist.  Once  having  solved  them  for 
Themselves,  They  know. 

Why  then,  do  They  not  come  and  help  you 
solve  them?  Would  it  help  a  child  in  school, 
if  the  teacher  solved  its  simple  little  prob- 
lems of  arithmetic?  It  would  be  easy 
for  the  teacher — but  would  it  train  the  child? 
Would,  in  that  way,  the  child  develop  the 
qualities  and  the  capacities  for  the  purpose  of 
which  the  problems  are  laid  before  it? 

Wise  teachers  watch  the  children  loving- 
ly, rejoicing  when  a  pupil,  by  his  own  exer- 
tion, has  solved  a  problem.  Then  they  ad- 
vance that  pupil,  and  give  him  harder  prob- 
lems— until  the  school  years  are  over,  and 
the  children  graduate. 

Thus  do  the  Teachers  of  the  present  race 
consider  social  problems.  They  have  laid 
them  before  you — that  you,  in  solving  them, 
may  develop  your  inherent  powers/  You 
must  work  them  out,  without  the  Teacher's 
help. 


In  the  meantime,  I  am  waiting  for  you  to 


71— 


graduate.  For  graduation  from  this  race 
means  admission  into  Mine :  into  that  il- 
lumined Race,  into  which  all  can  be  born. 

But  I  cannot  wait  indefinitely!  I  cannot 
wait  for  all  those  who  are  lazy,  who  would 
rather  play  than  work  at  the  problems,  who 
try  to  evade  the  training,  and  who  seem  to 
believe  that  the  purpose  of  the  tasks  is  to 
make  life  miserable ! 

Only  those  who  apply  themselves  cheer- 
fully, glad  of  the  training  which  will  enable 
them  to  do  better  work,  later — those  only 
can  be  candidates  for  My  Coming  Race. 

I  have  come  to  help  them — to  hasten 
their  promotion.  A  hint  is  all  that  I  can  give. 
But  it  contains  the  key  to  the  solution  of  all 
difficulties. 

Listen,  you  who  seriously  struggle  with 
your  problems,  anxious  to  solve  them:  LOVE 
is  the  key  that  will  open  the  secret  chamber 
— the  chamber  of  the  human  heart — where 
you  will  find  the  ever-present  solution  which 
will  make  all  problems  vanish  from  your  ex- 
istence. 


—72 


Take  that  key. 

But    remember:    it   works    only    if    it    is 
handled  with  immaculate  Purity! 


Until  you  have  discovered  that  Love  is 
the  only  key  to  the  solution  of  your  prob- 
lems, your  lessons  have  not  been  learned: 
you  cannot  graduate. 

As  you  refuse,  life  after  life,  to  learn — 
you  are  handed  over  to  a  private  Teacher 
Who  never  fails.  Strong,  patient,  forgiving, 
compassionate,  filled  with  the  one  desire  to 
help  you  to  grow  towards  greater  happiness, 
towards  the  Future  Race — and  with  a  per- 
fect knowledge  of  your  failings  and  your 
possibilities,  this  Teacher  takes  you  in  hand. 
You  may  not  like  the  method — but  it  is  the 
greatest  help  that  could  be  given  you. 

The  name  is :  Suffering. 

No  greater — and  more  loving — Teacher 
ever  was  than  Suffering! 

Unfailing  are  the  ultimate  results.  When 
nothing  else  brings  out  love  and  compassion 


78— 


— your  own  suffering  does.  It  makes  you 
understand  what  others  feel;  it  makes  you 
feel  with  others,  thus  sowing  the  seed  of 
Love. 

Not  always  does  this  grow  immediately. 

It  may  have  to  drill  its  way  through  a 
crust  of  stony  ground  ere  its  tiny  shoot  be- 
comes visible  on  the  surface.  And  Suffering 
may  have  to  help,  to  break  the  ground  and 
loosen  it,  and  keep  it  soft. 

This  Teacher — the  liberator  of  the  Di- 
vine in  man — continues  to  bear  with  you, 
with  your  obstinately  clinging  to  selfish  inter- 
ests ....  until  you  have  learned  the  les- 
son: unburdened  yourself  from  'self,  be- 
gun to  live  in  the  SELF. 

Pain  is  the  shortcut  towards  liberation — 
towards  a  conscious  realization  of  Life  and 
Light  divine.  It  is  the  dark  tunnel  through 
which  all  must  pass  to  reach  the  land  of  un- 
fading beauty,  of  eternal  youth  and  bliss. 

As  you  advance  into  the  tunnel,  the  dark- 
ness deepens:  no  beam  of  light  behind,  no 
glimmering  ahead;  the  air  is  heavy;  you 


— ?4 


awkwardly  grope  about  to  find  your  way; 
you  fear  a  cave-in;  you  are  near  exhaustion, 
and  bitterly  complain. 

Go  on,  go  on !  Listen  to  the  sounds  ahead. 
They  are  the  cries  of  ecstasy  of  those  ap- 
proaching the  opening  at  the  end,  and  who 
begin  to  see  what  you  can  not  yet  see:  the 
colors  and  the  splendor  of  a  light  such  as 
they  have  never  seen,  which  will  be  yours  for 
ever,  once  you  arrive  there. 

Listen  again:  footsteps  coming  towards 
you,  glad  voices  calling  you.  It  is  they  who 
have  had  a  glimpse,  and  now  come  back  to 
encourage  you,  to  cheer  you,  to  share  their 
joy  with  you.  For  they  have  seen  the  light 
of  the  new  era — which  only  instils  joy,  when 
it  is  shared  with  others,  with  all  who  can  be 
reached. 


There  is  another  way  to  the  valley  of 
blithe  felicity.  It  is  a  long  and  weary  way, 
zig-zagging  across  high  mountain  tops, 
through  fields  of  never  melting  snow.  A 
lonely  road  which  is  full  of  dangers:  where 


avalanches  threaten,  where  one  easily  loses 
his  path,  freezing  to  death  in  solitude. 

Some  try  that  road;  but  they  either  become 
lost,  or,  eventually,  return — to  pass  into  the 
tunnel. 

No  human  creature  ever  reached  his  goal, 
except  by  going  through  the  Tunnel  of  Suf- 
fering! 


All  is  well! 

All  that  is,  is  well  as  it  is,  and  for  the  good 
of  everyone  concerned.  But  that  is  not  ex- 
cluding the  fact :  that  it  might — and  will — be 
better. 

Are  you  not  yet  convinced  that  in  a  uni- 
verse ruled  by  Love — of  which  the  Almighty 
Ruler  is  Love  itself — there  can  be  no  injus- 
tice? 

Even  the  greatest  suffering,  as  well  as  the 
slightest  unpleasant  experience,  is  self-at- 
tracted. Not  as  a  punishment,  laid  upon  you 
by  the  wrath  of  an  avenging  Power;  but  as 
the  natural  reaction  of  your  own  actions,  of 
your  own  stubborn  refusal  to  learn  life's  les- 


sons,  your  continued  seeking  to   serve  the 
'self,  instead,  and  at  the  cost,  of  SELF. 

Perhaps  you  are  conclusively  aware  of  this 
fundamental  truth:  that  nothing  is  unjust, 
and  that  to  every  creature  is  meted  out  only 
a  well-deserved  share  of  evil  as  well  as  good. 
You  may  have  this  wisdom  at  hand,  and 
freely  make  use  of  it  ...  whenever  others 
are  in  trouble,  in  sorrow,  in  serious  difficul- 
ties. But — when  some  disappointment  thrusts 
itself  upon  you  ....  where  is  your  wis- 
dom then?  You  are  provoked  and  angry, 
worried,  unnerved,  upset — and  call  what- 
ever strikes  you:  unwarranted,  undeserved, 
unjust! 

You  are  blinded  by  the  'self .  Wake  up; 
take  your  own  medicine,  with  the  impersonal 
wisdom  of  the  SELF. 

Suffering — and  every  blow  that  you  ascribe 
to  fate — is  medicine,  of  your  own  making. 
You  brewed  it  by  your  past  deeds;  it  is  yours 
— every  drop  of  it.  But  by  the  Ones  Who 
guide  your  evolution,  it  is  lovingly  applied  to 
cure  you  ....  from  your  self! 


Hence:  all  is  well. 

Even  the  misery  of  your  present  social 
conditions  ....  as  long  as  they  remain  as 
they  are. 

But:  things  will  not  be  as  well  with  you  as 
you  wish  them  to  be,  as  long  as  you  have  not 
exhausted  every  means  whereby  to  alleviate 
your  brother's  suffering — from  whatever 
cause  that  be !  Things  cannot  be  what  you 
call  'well,'  as  long  as  you  still  need  a  repeti- 
tion of  the  same  lessons — until  you  have 
learned  brotherliness  and  compassion. 


Outer  conditions  are  the  outcome — the 
mirrored  picture — of  inner  qualities.  This 
counts  for  individuals  as  well  as  for  a  race. 

You,  in  your  world  of  unrealities,  try  to 
remodel  the  ephemeral  reflections — your  so- 
cial conditions — by  some  sketching  and  some 
painting  on  the  surface  of  the  mirror.  Do 
you  not  see  the  originals — your  inner  quali- 
ties— as  the  things  that  should  be  changed  to 
improve  their  own  reflection? 

The  change  for  better  can  only  come  from 


— 7S 


within — from  within  yourself.     First  purify 
yourself — then  will  conditions  change. 

This  is  not  a  selfish  way — nor  a  self-cen- 
tered one.  For,  to  succeed,  you  must  rid 
yourself  of  'self;  and,  void  of  'self — how 
could  there  be  a  question  of  selfishness? 

As  you  purify  yourself,  you  grow  from 
'self  to  SELF — towards  unity  with  all.  And 
then  you  cannot  help  loving  and  helping  all. 
Further:  your  own  perfection  helps  to  per- 
fect the  whole  of  humanity — just  as  each  ad- 
ditional light  helps  to  dispel  the  darkness  in 
a  dimly  lighted  hall. 


A  difference  in  evolutionary  standpoint, 
in  spiritual  development,  in  brain  capacity,  in 
physical  strength,  in  health,  in  ability  along 
definite  lines — and  even  in  possessions — will 
probably  always  exist. 

But  in  the  Coming  Race,  in  a  loving  mu- 
tual understanding,  no  one  will  cause  an- 
other's suffering:  the  greatest  joy  of  every- 
one will  be  to  use  all  that  he  is  and  has  for 
the  giving  of  joy  to  others.  There  will  not 


TO— 


be  the  misery  of  poverty — neither  the  curse 
of  selfishly  used  wealth. 

Your  money  values  do  not  count  with  Me : 
heart  values  are  the  only  things  worthy  My 
consideration.  With  all  your  millions — with 
all  the  world's  treasures — you  cannot  bribe 
Me  to  come.  But  where  a  pure  heart  is  un- 
folding SELF — though  in  its  humbleness  and 
lack  of  brilliancy  unnoticed  by  most  of  you 
— there  am  I  attracted.  There  is  the  New 
Race  coming  into  expression.  There  dawns 
the  wider  consciousness  which  will  bring  a 
perfect  solution  of  all  problems,  of  all  mys- 
teries. 

The  only  mystery  which  you  need  to  solve 
is:  the  realization  of  the  Oneness  of  all  life. 
LOVE  will  solve  it — and  therewith  ail  your 
problems. 


PURITY  OF  EMOTIONS 

What  a  whirling  and  twirling  in  the  super- 
ethereal  substance  of  your  body,  and  in  your 
atmosphere!  Invisible  to  you,  perhaps? 
But  there  nevertheless — as  a  result  of  your 
excitability,  your  uncontrolled  emotions, 
your  restlessness. 

Learn  to  see.  Then  watch  the  turbulent 
motions  of  the  fine  matter  on  which  emotions 
are  impressed.  Watch  the  disturbances,  set 
up  in  the  earthly  atmosphere  by  the  hurry 
and  the  struggle  and  the  nervosity  of  modern 
life.  Watch  the  superphysical  conditions  of 
a  city,  of  noisy  traffic,  of  a  celebrating  crowd. 
Then,  too,  of  your  own  home.  And  of  your- 
self! 


81— 


But  you  are  not  emotional,  are  you?  You 
are  wonderfully  balanced.  You  can  read  in 
the  daily  papers,  without  being  in  the  least 
stirred,  about  battles  raging  where  thousands 
are  killed  and  maimed  ....  but  none  you 
know  are  there;  about  destruction  of  facto- 
ries ....  in  which  you  have  no  shares; 
about  cataclysms  and  calamities  ....  all 
far  away  from  home;  about  murders,  hold- 
ups, etc not  in  your  neighborhood. 

But — on  the  next  page  is  a  paragraph 
....  look  again  ....  can  that  be  right? 
A  slump  in  your  best  stocks?  Your  candi- 
date exposed?  A  rumor  about  some  scandal 
in  your  family?  Or  your  name  honorably 
mentioned  ....  so  terribly  misspelled  that 
nobody  will  know  it  is  you?  But  that  is  more 
than  anyone  can  stand!  Now  watch  the  at- 
mosphere ! 

What  an  agitation  ....  when  your  din- 
ner is  somewhat  late,  when  the  soup  is  over- 
seasoned,  the  coffee  served  cold!  You  try  to 
keep  your  poise ;  but  from  a  gloomy  face,  you 
emanate  muddy  torrents  which  darken  the 
whole  house. 


— « 


What  horrid  streaks  in  your  aura,  splashes 
of  miry  hues  ....  when  you  'enjoy'  low 
emotional  music,  or  a  passionate  opera — 
which  you  like  to  call  'art' !  Or  when  read- 
ing obscene  stories,  or  exchanging  vulgar 
jokes. 

Such  pastimes  are  to  your  emotions,  what 
salted  pretzels  are  to  the  lining  of  the  throat : 
artificially,  they  excite  a  thirst,  a  longing  for 
satisfaction,  entirely  unnatural. 

If  only  you  could  see  what  a  chaos  you 
create  by  your  applause,  your  yells,  your 
screajns,  and  unnecessary  noises!  They  go 
fairly  well  with  bull-fights,  with  Indian  war- 
dances,  with  feasts  of  savages,  orgies  of  un- 
couth brutes.  At  the  present  time  they 
should  not — in  the  Coming  Race  they  cannot 
find  a  place! 

Why  permit  them  in  your  children,  en- 
courage them  in  colleges  and  schools?  Why 
do  you,  you  yourself,  go  on  with  most  of 
them?  Because  you  like  emotion?  And  do 
not  care  to  know  about  nature's  finer  forces? 
Because  you  are  too  much  filled  with  what 
you  call  'pleasure',  to  seek  the  nobler  pleas- 


ures  of  the  Race  that  I  shall  bring? 

Emotion  and  excitement — could  you  live 
without  these  ?  Without  your  dinner  parties, 
your  theatres  and  shows;  your  tension  about 
new  quotations,  your  chance  for  special  gains; 
your  shopping,  and  selecting  unneeded  things 
at  sales;  your  friendly  (?)  naggings  and 
quarrels  with  your  nearest  relatives;  your 
chats  about  the  'latest'  (quite  confidentially, 
of  course)  ;  your  numberless  appointments 
(all  important,  to  be  sure) ;  and  even  your 
disappointments  .  .  .  .? 

Days  would  seem  dull  and  dreary,  if  you 
had  to  miss  these  things.  They  are  the  stimu- 
lants that  keep  you  going — the  spices,  with- 
out which  your  life  would  be  tedious  indeed! 

You  have  not  yet  transmuted  your  emo- 
tions. You  are  still  negative.  You  are  still 
being  lived  by  outer  influences — instead  of 
positively  living  a  life  ruled  by  yourself,  by 
the  SELF  from  within ! 


What  then  ? 

What  can  replace  these  things,  which  are 


now  so  coveted  and  without  which  existence 
seems  insipid.  ...  to  you  who  do  not  know? 

Fear  not. 

Life  will  not  be  prosaic  where  /  can  mani- 
fest. I  prompt  no  long-drawn  faces;  no 
yawns  of  irksomeness;  no  faintness;  no  de- 
pression; no  attacks  of  melancholy.  These 
are  themselves  the  outcome  of  your  emo- 
tionalism— unwholesome  as  it  is.  They  will 
all  be  discarded  when  /  come. 

What  is  the  song  of  birds  to  one  who  is 
totally  deaf?  What,  a  glorious  sunset  to  the 
blind — or  spiritually  blinded?  Can  Kaffirs 
grasp  an  artist's  ecstasy?  Could  you  make 
them  understand,  while  they  still  lack  the 
needed  faculties? 

Neither,  perhaps,  will  it  be  possible  to 
make  the  enrapturing  joy  of  My  exalted  Race 
comprehensible  to  you  ....  as  long  as  you 
lack  Love — and  Purity. 

All  your  emotional  pleasures  will  be 
looked  upon  as  playthings,  with  which  a 
young  humanity — with  its  childlike  conscious- 
ness— once  amused  itself. 

Are  you  not  longing  for  an  expansion  of 


your  knowledge,  for  a  capacity  to  be  thrilled 
by  now  unknown  manifestations  of  life 
around  and  within  you  ?  Or  would  you,  like 
some  children,  rather  cling  to  your  toys? 
Toys  are  quite  useful — as  long  as  the  mind 
is  weak.  But  if  kept  too  long,  they  form 
obstacles  to  further  growth.  So  does  the 
unchecked  play  of  your  emotions :  it  hinders 
your  unfoldment 

My  Children  will  acquire  that  wider  con- 
sciousness, which  brings  with  it  a  compre- 
hension, now  undreamt  of,  of  other  worlds 
than  yours;  and  a  capability  to  approach  the 
cosmic  consciousness,  at  present  vaguely 
sensed  by  only  very  few.  This  cosmic  con- 
sciousness is  as  far  above  your  own,  as  yours 
is  beyond  that  of  the  atoms  of  which  your 
body  is  composed. 

Expand  your  consciousness — by  purifying 
your  emotions.  Help  it  to  grow,  to  take  in 
more  and  more — until,  finally,  it  will  be 
cosmic.  As  it  unfolds,  you  will  begin  to  real- 
ize the  unity  of  all — and  that  brings  love  for 
all  :of  all,  for  all. 

Then  comes  the  happiness  that  never  can 


be  disturbed,  and  which  makes  all  work  a 
joy. 

The  Coming  Race  will  live  in  the  greatest 
joy:  the  joy  of  giving  joy — the  purest  of  pure 
emotions. 


Emotion  must  not  be  killed — but  it  should 
be  purified,  transmuted,  kept  under  strict 
control  ....  under  the  control  of  SELF. 

Balance  must  be  acquired — but  not:  indif- 
ference. Balance  is  controlled  emotion. 
Destroyed  emotion  is  indifference. 

Have  you  compassion?  Do  you  weep 
with  those  who  weep,  and  suffer  with  those 
who  suffer?  And,  in  another  hour,  do  you 
laugh  with  those  who  laugh,  and  giggle  with 
those  who  giggle?  Then,  even  your  com- 
passion is  but  a  play  of  your  emotions. 

Become  compassionate  1  Learn  to  under- 
stand the  cause  of  suffering.  Look  with  the 
greatest  love — with  understanding  love — 
upon  the  sufferers.  Without  yourself  being 
swept  by  your  emotions:  will  to  help.  In- 
tuitively you  will  know  how.  Console.  Re- 
lieve. Instruct.  And  bring  good  cheer. 


Help  all  you  can.  Respond  to  every  call  of 
those  who  suffer.  But  never  lose  control  of 
your  emotions. 

Thus  will  you  show  true  compassion — and 
balance  ....  without  indifference. 


Be  ever  more  sensitive — without  being 
sentimental. 

Not:  sensitive  about  things  that  bother 
you!  Offenses  or  neglects,  unkindnesses,  ill- 
luck,  losses,  annoyances  will  not  affect  you 
any  more  when  you  purify  and  master  your 
emotions. 

But:  sensitive  for  others,  so  that  you  may 
understand  and  respond  immediately  to  the 
needs  of  your  surroundings.  This  selfless 
sensitiveness  will  naturally  develop  with  the 
growth  of  pure  emotions. 

The  New  Race  will  be  super-sensitive — 
yet  not  emotional. 

The  higher  sensitiveness  will  open  up  the 
sensory  organs  to  numberless  new  impres- 
sions :  to  natural  phenomena,  in  the  existence 
of  which  you  now  scarcely  believe — because 


— $8 


you  are  blind  and  deaf,  your  organs  still  unfit 
to  respond  to  a  greater  range  of  vibrations. 

Things,  now  unseen,  will  become  visible  to 
My  Children :  colors  of  indescribable  beauty 
and  brilliancy  will  loom  up  before  their  eyes. 
The  harmony  of  the  spheres  will  become 
audible  in  music,  free  from  the  limitations  of 
physical  instruments.  Perfumes,  delicious 
and  pure,  will  be  found  to  fill  the  air.  Things, 
long  heedlessly  overlooked,  will  fascinate 
man  by  their  color,  sound  and  scent. 

Immeasurable  treasures  will  Nature  reveal 
in  limitless  abundance  to  the  Children  of  the 
New  Race. 

That  is:  to  you — if  you  prepare  for  it,  if 
you  purify  your  emotions. 


PURITY  OF  THOUGHTS 

What  would  you  do? 

If  you  could  see  the  thoughts  of  everyone 
around  you — what  would  you  do? 

Be  glad  you  do  not  see  them !  Those  con- 
cerning you  might  seriously  disturb  your  self- 
sufficient  complacency.  And  an  unsuspected 
knowledge  of  the  thoughts  of  others  about 
their  business  and  their  private  affairs  might 
lead  you  to  a  selfish  abuse  of  such  secret  in- 
formation. 

Yet :  you  will  see  them  when  you  come  into 
My  Race !  But  by  that  time  you  will  have 
lost  all  touch  of  selfishness. 

If  every  thought  of  yours  could  be  seen  by 
other  people — what  would  you  do  ? 


Would  you  want  them  to  be  seen  ?  Would 
you  dare  to  have  them  seen?  I  fear,  you  are 
often  glad  in  your  conviction  that  others  can 
not  see. 

But :  all  will  see  your  thoughts,  in  the  New 
Race! 


If  your  every  thought — no  matter  on  what 
subject,  however  definite  or  vague — could 
now  be  seen  by  Those  Who  (though  invisible 
and  perhaps  unknown  to  you)  are  guiding 
and  teaching  you,  helping  your  evolution, 
preparing  you  to  become  eligible  candidates 
for  My  noble,  peerless  Race  ....  what 
would  you  do? 

They  do  see  them ! 

And  so  do  /. 

It  is  upon  the  quality  of  your  thoughts — 
more  than  upon  anything  else — that  you  are 
judged  by  Them.  Essentially  upon  your 
thoughts  your  very  growth  depends.  The 
amount  of  Love  and  Purity  that  you  put  into 
your  thoughts — that  will  decide  whether  you 
can  pass  into  the  Future  Race. 


—92 


Your  every  thought  is  watched — even  the 
faintest  impulse  of  a  thought  is  noted.  And 
every  occurrence — even  the  slightest  incident 
in  your  every-day  life — Is  utilized  as  a  test: 
to  see  what  kind  of  thought  it  will  arouse; 
for  nothing  and  no  one  should  have  the  power 
to  bring  out  undesirable  thoughts  in  you. 

The  result  is  automatically  registered,  in- 
delibly :  each  thought  sets  up  vibrations  in 
superphysical  matter,  impressing  upon  it  an 
ever-lasting  record,  which  is  an  open  book  to 
Me.  Many  a  page  is  soiled,  unworthy,  most 
often  worthless.  In  vain  I  look  for  definitely 
pure  and  worthy,  loving  and  constructive 
thoughts  which  will  help  to  bring  humanity 
nearer  to  the  day  on  which  I  can  manifest  in 
the  magnificent  New  Race ! 

How  does  your  record  stand? 
What  will  you  do  to  make  it  better?  What 
are  you  adding  from  hour  to  hour? 
What  will  you  do  ? 


You  doubt  My  words? 

That  does  not  change  the  fact:  that  I  do 

93— 


sec  all  your  thoughts.  Even  your  most  secret 
thoughts  are  not  hidden  from  Me.  Even 
merely  passing  ones  are  noticeable  to  Me.  I 
see  them,  even  before  you  have  put  them 
through  the  process  of  shaping  them  in  your 
brain  1 

For,  in  the  spiritual  realms — where  I 
dwell — thoughts,  all  your  thoughts,  are  pal- 
pable, tangible  things. 

Thoughts  are  things — real  things — things 
that  you  have  created/ 


In  your  little  material  world  of  deceptive 
appearances,  you  judge  each  other  almost  ex- 
clusively by  the  clothes  you  wear.  And  by  a 
shrewd  selection  of  your  garments,  you  try 
to  convince  others  that  you  are,  what  you  are 
not. 

But  to  My  eye  you  wear  quite  another 
cloak!  You  are  surrounded  by  the  forms, 
created  by  your  thoughts.  That  is  the  garb 
which  you  make  for  yourself,  into  which  you 
weave  every  thread,  draw  every  design, 
frame  every  pattern.  That  is  the  apparel 


which  shows  what  you  really  are. 

And  what  an  object  it  presents,  of  most  of 
you! 

A  shapeless,  slovenly  bundle  of  dirty  rags, 
of  unattractive,  muddy  colors,  patched  and 
pinned  together  without  any  apparent  plan, 
with  far  too  many  "I's"  and  grasping  hooks 
— and  full  of  holes  and  gaps,  showing  the 
emptiness  of  your  existence,  your  lack  of 
thought. 

Such  is  the  attire  in  which  you  show  your- 
self to  Me — and  to  all  those  who  can  see. 

In  the  New  Race  all  will  see.  But  none 
will  enter  it,  who  have  not  changed  their  robe 
— making  it  presentable  and  pleasing  to  the 
clear-seeing  eye.  None  but  those  who  have 
purified  their  thoughts,  and  ensouled  them 
with  love,  will  be  admitted  into  My  Race  of 
the  Future. 


By  your  thoughts  you  create  your  own  fu- 
ture :  what  you  think,  you  will  be/ 

By  concentrated  thought  you  create  a  form 
of  what  you  wish  to  become.  After  this  pat- 


tern,  if  you  make  it  strong  enough,  you — 
your  conditions  and  your  body — will  be 
shaped. 

This  is  a  dangerous  knowledge.  For  you 
want  things  selfishly.  Your  desire  is  to  be 
rich,  or  famous :  to  shine,  to  stand  out  above 
your  fellows  in  power,  wealth,  learning,  or 
artistic  ability.  And  you  want  even  spiritual- 
ity ....  only  to  be  more  than  others. 

Therefore,  a  practical  knowledge  of  the 
creative  power  of  thought  is  being  withheld 
from  you.  You  would  utilize  it  for  selfish 
purposes.  And  so  you  would  retard  your 
evolution — and  that  of  humanity,  of  which 
each  one  of  you  is  an  integral  part.  You 
would  intensify  the  hampering  influence  of 
the  'self — and  thus  prevent  the  coming  into 
expression  of  the  SELF. 

Once  you  are  selfless — once  you  are  less  a 
slave  to  your  paltry  little  'self — you  will 
learn  how  to  create  instantaneously  and  visi- 
bly by  thought.  This,  the  Children  of  My 
Race  will  have  learned  to  do.  Their  knowl- 
edge will  be  applied  only  for  others9  sake — 
never  for  their  own. 


96— 


All  of  them  will  be  artists — in  that  new 
art :  the  making  of  exquisite  thoughts,  which 
everyone  else,  with  the  sense  of  clearer  sight, 
will  be  able  to  enjoy. 

More  beautiful  than  the  greatest  treasures 
of  art,  now  kept  in  your  museums  and  stored 
away  in  private  galleries,  will  be  their  works 
— produced  by  all,  for  all. 


Thought  is  the  ultimate  creative  power. 

Sound  creates  in  physical  matter;  but  wise, 
thoughtful  beings  first  consciously  think — 
they  first  consciously  create  by  thought,  in 
subtler  matter,  that  which  will  serve  as  a 
model  for  their  physical  creations. 

The  Great  Power  Who  created  the  uni- 
verse, created  it  by  thought — before,  by  His 
spoken  Word,  He  brought  it  down  into  physi- 
cal manifestation.  If  you  consider  yourself 
to  be  made  in  His  image — do  as  He  did :  and 
think  ....  before  you  speak. 

First  in  the  realm  of  thought  are  made  the 
archetypes  for  all  things  physical  in  the 
Macrocosm.  So  do  you,  by  your  thoughts, 


create  the  patterns  for  all  that  will  occur  in 
your  future  microcosm. 


Strong,  definite,  oft  repeated  thoughts 
build  living  entities — even  though  you  see 
them  not.  If  you  nourish  them,  and  give 
them  regular  attention,  they  will  do  obedi- 
ently what  you  charge  them  to  do.  What- 
ever quality — of  hate  or  love,  of  healing  or 
destruction — you  put  into  them,  will  be  their 
motive  power,  their  actual  life  force. 

Strong  thoughts  are  rare — and  fortu- 
nately so :  if  there  were  many,  the  evil,  grasp- 
ing, selfish  ones  would  far  outnumber  the  un- 
selfish. 

Such  is  the  present  race.  But  in  the  New, 
rid  of  all  selfishness,  all  will  know  how  to 
build  beneficent,  entrancing  forms. 

You  think  no  vitally  harmful,  no  vio- 
lently hateful,  not  even  essentially  self-seek- 
ing thoughts,  do  you?  Just  a  perpetual  suc- 
cession of  the  smallest,  faintest  thoughts  of 
personal  criticisms,  of  personal  dislikes,  of 
trivial  personal  wishes  ....  are  these  your 


average  thoughts?  They  may  seem  harm- 
less— but  they  do  not  build  a  world  in  which 
/  can  manifest ! 

After  all,  they  are  more  harmful  than  you 
now  realize. 

These  countless  millions  of  diminutive 
vague  thoughts,  continually  sent  out  by  most 
of  you,  are — by  the  Law  that  like  attracts 
like — drawn  to  each  other.  They  strengthen 
one  the  other,  forming  what  might  be  called : 
great  reservoirs  of  force. 

These — good  or  bad — when  filled  to  over- 
flowing, empty  themselves  upon  humanity. 
Rarely  is  one  containing  love  and  kindness 
filled  to  the  point  where  it  is  ready  for  dis- 
tribution. But  frequently  contents  of  a  less 
enjoyable  nature  are  poured  out.  Then 
comes  catastrophe  or  epidemic,  pestilence  or 
war.  All  are  of  man's  own  making:  result- 
ing from  his  thoughts.  Each  person  receives 
what  he  himself  has  put  in — by  the  accumula- 
tion of  his  own  thoughtless  thinking,  of  his 
own  unchecked  thoughts. 


Not  till  you  purify  your  thoughts  will 
these  horrors  cease. 

Not  till  you  leave  all  harmful  elements,  all 
selfish  proclivities  out  of  your  thoughts,  will 
suffering  and  sorrow  be  no  more  attracted  by 
you. 

Not  till  determinedly  you  direct  the  pure 
power  of  your  thoughts  towards  the  helping 
of  others,  can  I  manifest  in  you. 

Not  till  there  is  Purity  in  your  every  deed, 
in  your  every  word,  and  in  your  every  thought 
will — where  you  are — the  Coming  Race  be 
born. 


EPILOGUE 


Exalted  and  exultant  beyond  the 
most  fanciful  visions  of  today's 
idealists^  will  be  My  radiant  Race 
— which  soon  will  be  established. 


THE  PRESENT  RACE  AND  THE  NEW 

I  am  no  dreamer ,  visualizing  things  as  they 
might  be !  I  know  what  is  to  be  I 

Behind  some  dreamers  of  Utopias  I  stood, 
inspiring  them,  guiding  their  thoughts — that 
through  their  works  the  world  might  see  the 
future,  and  exert  its  efforts  to  approach  the 
day  when  I  shall  come  to  establish  the  New 
Race. 

My  hints  they  worked  out  according  to 
their  viewpoint — and  used  them  to  support 
that  single  fraction  of  the  Truth  which  they 
had  recognized. 

But  now  /  speak  Myself,  with  definite 
knowledge  of  what  is  planned  to  be — of  what 
already  is  in  the  Universal  Mind,  existing 

105— 


even  now  in  the  highest  realms  of  thought, 
which  to  My  vision  are  more  real  than  trees 
and  stones  to  yours. 

I  am  not  merely  'dreaming',  when  I  speak 
of  the  Coming  Race — I,  who  am  the  Spirit 
of  that  Race  I 

But  on  you,  the  people  of  today,  on  you 
it  will  depend  when  it  will  be  established — 
when,  with  its  joy  and  peace,  its  splendor,  its 
unequalled  happiness,  it  will  come  down  into 
physical  expression. 


I,  Spirit  of  the  Unborn,  have  indicated — 
in  My  Plea  for  Purify — some  of  the  changes, 
essentially  needed  in  preparing  the  world, 
and  yourselves,  for  the  New  Race. 

Now  I  shall  synthesize  the  differences  be- 
tween the  present  race  and  My  Race  of 
tomorrow. 

The  keynote  of  the  present  race  is:  to 
HAVE  ;  that  of  the  New :  to  BE. 

You  try  to  obtain,  be  it  for  the  benefit  of 
yourself  or  for  others,  whatever  of  outer  things 


may  seem  desirable.  But  no  matter  what  you 
possess — it  can  be  lost  again,  and  will  be  lost, 
sooner  or  later. 

Try  to  become — help  others  to  become,  to 
build  into  themselves  eternal  qualities:  the 
only  things  that  never  can  be  lost.  Then  will 
you  help  the  coming  of  the  New  Race. 

The  present  race  seeks  to  GRASP  ;  the  New 
will  live  to  GIVE. 

Large  incomes,  high  positions,  accumula- 
tion of  private  property,  personal  satisfaction 
— that  is  what  all  the  world  is  seeking  in  these 
days.  'Giving*  is  looked  upon  as  'sacrifice1, 
as  'renunciation* — and  whenever  it  is  prac- 
tised, it  is  usually  prompted  by  the  hope  of 
some  return. 

In  My  Race,  'giving*  will  be  the  general  ex- 
only  things  that  never  can  be  lost.  Then  will 
be  their  keenest  joy. 

The  watchword  of  the  present  race  is: 
COMPETITION;    that    of   the    New   will   be 

CO-OPERATION. 

Beginning  in  your  schools,  the  training  is: 
to  outrival  the  other  student,  in  learning,  in 
sport.  And  all  through  life  this  system  is  kept 
up:  put  others  into  the  shade,  compete. 

Life-poisoning  competition  has  done  its  share 
in  the  plan  of  evolution:  in  helping  to  develop 


107- 


the  concrete  mind.    But  this  is  not  the  highest 
that  humanity  can  gain ! 

With  the  New  Race  comes  transmuted  com- 
petition :  there,  all  will  vie  in  giving  others  what 
they  would  most  desire  for  themselves.  Each, 
knowing  that  he  shares  the  One  Life  with  his 
brothers,  will  do  his  utmost  for  the  common 
good.  Without  reserve,  all  will  whole-hearted- 
ly co-operate. 

The  present  race  is  DESTRUCTIVE  ;  the  New 

Will  be  CONSTRUCTIVE. 

Watch  children:  how— almost  without  ex- 
ception— they  enjoy  destroying  things.  Adults 
encourage  them,  and  eagerly  assist  in  destruc- 
tion of  living  things.  The  propensity  is  checked 

— by  rules  of  propriety,  and,  mainly,  of 

police. 

By  his  injurious  emanations,  man  has  es- 
tranged the  many  ethereal,  now  invisible  beings 
who  exist  and  evolve  alongside  him.  He  has 
filled  them  with  distrust,  disgust.  The  New 
Race  will  be  harmless  and  helpful  to  all  that 
co-exists — thereby  regaining  the  kind  assistance 
of  the  nature-spirits,  who  will  beautify  the 
world,  accomplishing  their  joyous  task  before 
the  purified  eye  of  man. 

The  elements  themselves  will  co-operate  with 
man,  and  will  no  more  destroy — by  cyclones, 
earthquakes,  floods,  or  fire,  by  extremes  of  heat 

—101 


and  cold — what  man  has  wrought.  All  these 
catastrophes  are  caused  by  man  himself:  result- 
ing from  his  destructive  attitude  towards 
nature,  as  well  as  from  his  thoughts. 

In  the  New  Race,  new  inventions  will 
utilize  enormous  powers  which  will  be  revealed 
in  nature — and  in  man;  and  these  will  be  avail- 
able for  great  constructive  work.  They  are  still 
kept  unknown,  because  under  the  control  of  a 
destructive  race  they  would  be  dangerous. 

SEX-CONTRAST  is  a  mighty  factor  in  the 
present  race ;  in  the  New  Race,  SEX-EQUALITY 
will  prevail. 

The  mystification  of  the  process  of  reproduc- 
tion; the  secrecy  attached  to  natural  forms; 
unwarranted  prudishness  and  pseudo  ignor- 
ance ;  the  over-accentuation  of  sex  difference  in 
dress,  in  education,  in  mannerism— all  these 
promote  furtive  thoughts  and  stealthy  whisper- 
ings concerning  sexology fomenting  sen- 
suality, refined  as  it  may  be. 

In  My  luminous  Race,  sex  will  be  recog- 
nized as  a  minor  incident.  There  will  be  little 
difference  in  dress,  in  expression — even  in  char- 
acter :  both  sexes  will  more  equally  manifest  the 
highest  that  is  now  in  each. 

KNOWLEDGE,  scientific  knowledge,  is  the 
glory  of  the  present  race;  but  in  the  New, 

109— 


WISDOM  will  be  supreme. 

Science,  however  admirable,  deals  with  the 
outer,  with  the  phenomenal  side.  It  is  a  slow, 
slow  process  towards  the  heart  of  things!  Not 
from  the  outside  in — but  from  the  inside  out, 
is  wisdom's  way. 

Within  is  the  One  Life.  Seek  to  know  that! 
Turn  your  attention  within  yourself:  you  can 
find  it  there.  That  same  Life  manifests  in 
others,  and  is  the  motive  power  in  all  nature's 
phenomena.  Once  you  attain  a  realization  of 
it — which  can  be  done  by  utmost  Purity — you 
know  the  cause,  the  how  and  why  of  every- 
thing: perfected  wisdom  will  include  all 
knowledge. 

The  present  race  is  led  by  INTELLECT;  the 
Coming  will  be  led  by  INTUITION. 

Intellectuality  is  the  ability  to  conceive  in- 
telligently the  actualities  in  the  world  around 
you — as  far  as  they  can  be  observed  by  your 
defective  and  imperfect  instruments  and  organs 
of  perception.  It  depends  entirely  upon  im- 
pressions on  the  brain  from  the  outside. 

Whereas  intuition  is  tuition  from  within: 
it  brings  the  unlimited,  true  knowledge  of  the 
SELF.  When  you  completely  open  yourself  to  it, 
you  will  know  all  there  is  to  know  in  the  entire 
universe.  For,  in  your  SELF,  you  can  share  the 

—no 


consciousness  of  all,  and  of  the  ALL — in  your 
SELF  you  are  One  with  all. 

The  present  race  has  RELIGIONS;  the  New 
will  have  RELIGION. 

Religions  are  the  garments  in  which  the  Di- 
vine has  sheathed  Itself  in  order  to  remain 
perceptible  to  the  spiritually  blinded  eyes  of 
human  souls.  And  as  the  soul-eyes  differed — 
so  has  Divinity  shown  Itself  in  different  cloaks. 

But  true  religion  enables  man  to  see  through 
every  garment,  perceiving  the  Divine  in  Its 
Purity  within:  the  Same  in  all — manifesting 
not  alone  in  Its  garments  of  religions,  but  in 
everything,  and  everywhere. 

In  the  New  Race,  the  true  meaning  of  reli- 
gion: the  reunion  of  man  with  God,  will  be 
fully  understood — and  this  reunion  will  be  ac- 
complished by  each  one  of  My  Children  indi- 
vidually and  directly without  the  need 

of  doctrines,  dogmas,  rites  or  creeds. 

The  present  race  is  surrounded  by  UGLI- 
NESS; in  BEAUTY  will  the  New  one  be 
enveloped. 

Your  standard  of  beauty  is  guided  by  cost 
and  rarity:  most  of  the  articles  you  value  for 
their  'beauty',  you  would  not  deign  to  look  upon 
if  they  were  cheap,  if  they  could  be  possessed 


ill- 


by  everyone.  Your  preference  for  the  beauti- 
ful is,  as  a  rule,  a  seeking  of  personal  gratifica- 
tion— and  grossly  selfish. 

In  the  New  Race,  art  and  beauty  will  be  a 
result  of  inner  purity — instead  of  having  for 
their  aim,  as  they  now  do,  the  demonstration  of 
outer  superiority. 

It  is  beauty  of  the  senses  which  is  sought  by 
the  present  race;  but  in  the  New,  the  beauty 
of  the  spirit  will  be  predominant.  Soul  beauty 
will  find  expression  in  feature  and  in  form,  in 
gracefully  rhythmic  motions,  in  pleasing,  melo- 
dious voices  and  in  kind,  loving  acts.  The 
beauty  attained  within  will  cause  all  outer  ob- 
jects to  be  beautiful. 

Not  by  contemptuously  shunning,  not  by 
repugnantly  repelling  from  your  presence  all 
that  is  still  ugly,  can  the  beauty  of  My  Race 
be  gained :  only  by  purifying,  only  by  beauti- 
fying one's  inner  nature  can  it  be  acquired. 

When  that  is  achieved,  the  uely  can  no  more 
exist.  Then,  nature  itself  will  be  magnificent 
as  it  has  never  been — because  man  will  no 
longer  interfere  with  the  work  of  its  agents.  It 
will  open  up  its  hidden  garners  and  spread  its 
treasures  of  unexampled  beauty  over  the  earth. 
And  the  radiance  of  good  cheer  and  of  su- 
preme enjoyment  will  be  on  every  face:  on 
yours,  when  you  will  be  reborn  into  My  re- 
splendent Race — or,  on  yours  now,  if  you  pre- 


— 1J2 


pare  yourself  to  be  selected  as  one  of  those 
who  will  lay  the  foundation  for  that  Race. 

The  present  race  stoops  under  a  load  of 
SUFFERING;  the  New,  with  lifted  head,  will 
reflect  the  light  from  heaven,  which  is  the 
purest  JOY. 

Stop  causing  your  own  misery  by  self-cen- 
teredness,  by  shutting  off  your  'self*  from  the 
joy-giving  luminosity  of  the  SELF! 

More  radiant  than  the  sun's  beams  is  the 
SELF.  Let  it  shine  within  you,  and  enlighten  you 
— filling  with  its  great  and  imperturbable  joy 
all  the  dark  chambers  in  your  being.  It  will 
do  that — if  you  cleanse  the  windows,  and  do 
not  keep  the  shades  and  shutters  of  your  selfish 
separateness  closed.  It  will — if  you  concen- 
trate your  efforts,  and  thoroughly  purify 
yourself. 

This  is  why  I  plead  with  you:  that  even 
now  your  suffering  may  be  lightened,  and  that 
you  may  begin  to  know  the  all-surpassing  joy 
in  which  the  New  Race  will  live. 

The  present  race  is  marked  by  SEPARATE- 
NESS;  the  New  will  be  distinguished  by 
UNITY. 

Each  one  now  prides  himself  on  what  he  has 

that  others  do  not  have — and  attention  is  given 

US— 


exclusively  to  differences  in  possessions,  in  race, 
in  dress,  ability,  political  convictions  and  reli- 
gious beliefs. 

My  Race  seeks  that  which  unites.  And  as 
each  one  will  realize  that  he  himself,  that  his 
own  inner  SELF,  his  Life,  is  God — and  that  all 
else  that  lives  is  himself,  because  it  is  in  essence 
the  same  SELF,  the  same  Life,  the  same  God — 
none  can  any  longer  feel  interests  separate  from 
those  of  others. 

Try  to  realize  now:  that  you  really  are  the 
others! 

The  present  race  is  ATTACHED;  the  New 

will  be  DETACHED. 

Attached  to  physical  forms  and  formalities, 
to  outer  appearances,  is  present  humanity. 
Even  in  its  friendships,  in  its  love,  it  clings  to 
the  matter  side. 

The  New  Race  will  know  the  spirit  side  of 
all  manifestation:  it  will  deal  with  the  eternal. 
Therefore,  it  will  be  detached,  freed  from  the 
deceptive  ties  of  temporary  objects,  freed  from 
the  fear  of  losing  whatever  it  may  have — and 
hence  free  from  all  fear. 

The  present  race  is  PERSONAL;  the  New 
will  be  IMPERSONAL. 

Your  personality  is  considered  all-important: 
its  wants,  its  wishes,  its  opinions,  its  interests, 

-414 


its  well-being — these  fill  your  life,  your 
thoughts. 

As  yet,  it  seems  almost  useless  to  speak  to 
you  of  your  Impersonality — of  the  One  SELF 
within  yourself,  which  links  you  up  with  all! 

My  Race  will  be  free  from  the  despotism  of 
the  selfish,  personal  'self — acknowledging 
alone  the  absolute  supremacy  of  the  selfless, 
and  impersonal  GREAT  SELF. 

LIMITATION  holds  the  present  race  in 
bounds;  Mine,  throwing  off  all  shackles,  will 
attain  to  LIBERATION. 

Imprisoned,  vastly  limited  are  you  in  your 
SELF-expression — even  if  you  know  it  not! 
Your  selfishness  restrains  you;  your  materialis- 
tic intellect  confines  you ;  your  separative  prin- 
ciples entomb  the  real  'You*. 

By  subjugation  of  your  'self,  unfetter  your 
true  SELF!  Then  you  will  triumph  over  every 
limitation — and,  as  a  member  of  My  mighty 
Race,  reach  liberation  from  all  ignorance,  all 
suffering,  all  woe. 

Break  away  from  the  detention  of  the  involu- 
tioning  SELF  in  the  manyness  of  'selves' — and 
consciously  share  the  Oneness  of  the  evolu- 
tioncd,  liberated  SELF! 


These  few  points  of  contrast  indicate  the 
trend  of  My  New  Race — and  what  it  will 
mean  to  you  if  you  can  enter  it. 

Then  you  will  realize  that  all  the  world 
is  you. 

Then  you  will  be  at-one  with  every  living 
creature,  with  everything  that  is :  with  sky 
and  trees  and  ocean,  with  elements,  with 
insects,  birds  and  beasts,  with  fellowmen, 
with  gods — and,  yes :  with  God. 

Then  you  will  know  that  you  are  immortal 
— that  you  have  always  been,  and  will  never 
cease  to  be. 

Then  you  will  consciously  feel  the  power 
of  God  pass  through  you  to  others — and  pour 
out  the  divine  Life  in  all  its  greatness  and 
its  glory  over  others. 

Then  you  will  be  aware  that  there  is  a 
never-ending  unfoldment  of  Divinity  in  you, 
in  ail;  that  a  greater,  and  ever  greater  ex- 
pansion— an  unlimited  succession  of  incom- 
parable and  wonderful  attainments — lie 
before  you. 

Then  you  will  find  yourself  receptive  to 


sensations,  such  as  a  little  human  soul  can 
scarcely  comprehend — and  in  comparison 
with  which  all  that  is  now  considered  'hap- 
piness' sinks  into  nothingness. 

This  is  the  promise  for  My  triumphant 
Race! 


UNIVERSAL  LOVE 

Love  is  the  uniting  power  of  the  Great 
Cosmic  Magnet. 

Whatever  is,  is  a  particle  of  that  Magnet: 
apart  from  It — yet  always  held  bound  to  It 
by  this  inherent  faculty  of  Love. 

Be  it  only  manifest  in  the  form  of  cohe- 
sion, of  gravity,  of  chemical  affinity — it  is 
the  same  uniting  force  of  Love.  Be  it  greed, 
or  longing,  or  personal  attraction — it  is  the 
working  of  the  same  principle:  a  leaning 
towards  unity  with  something  else. 

It  is  true:  many  an  atom  seems  sadly  de- 
magnetized   because — by  cold  men- 
tality— it  has  gone  far  away  from  the  Great 
Magnet;  because  it  has  shrunk  into  the  form 

119— 


of  a  closed  circle,  keeping  the  current  flowing 
within  itself,  wholly  self-centered,  loving  only 
the  own  'self. 

But  every  fragment  gradually  unfolds  its 

inborn  quality into  pure  self-forgetting, 

personal  love.  As  it  evolves  its  inner  power, 
it  is  lifted  up  in  the  direction  of  its  Source; 
so  it  will  reach  the  point  where  the  direct 
current  of  the  Great  Magnet  is  near  enough 
to  fill  it  with  Its  own  original  potency:  of 
universal  Love. 

Pure  personal  love  is  the  ultimate  accom- 
plishment of  your  race. 

When  you  enter  into  the  stream  of  uni- 
versal Love,  you  enter  into  My  Race. 


All  personal  love  is  limited,  exclusive — 
hence  an  imperfect  demonstration  of  divine 

Love.  But do  not  underestimate  the 

value  it  has  for  you ;  do  not  be  misled  by  the 
fallacious  thought :  that  you  can  rise  above  it 
by  ignoring  its  exalting  influence. 

Only  by  the  perfecting  of  the  highest 
personal  love,  can  you  be  lifted  up  to  where 

—120 


the  constant  current  of  universal  Love  can 
touch —  and  flow  through^— you. 

Great  personal  love  is  gradually  developed 
by  memories  of  happiness ,  shared  in  the  past 
with  the  beloved  ones,  strengthened  through 
many  lives,  growing  from  selfish  passion  into 
wwselfish,  pure — be  it  still :  personal — love. 

While  it  evolves,  one  learns  to  share  lov- 
ingly the  sorrows  of  the  beloved.  Out  of 
this,  corn-passion  grows — by  which  the  power 
is  acquired  to  feel  with,  and  in  others,  more 
and  more. 

Both — the  compassion  and  the  personal 
love — must  by  your  efforts  be  intensified, 
augmented  to  the  highest  attainable  degree, 
in  order  to  prepare  you  for  the  influx  of  the 

universal  Love and,  thereby,  for  My 

Race. 


Perfect,  unlimited,  all-inclusive  is  univer- 
sal Love.  When  it  becomes  manifest  in  you, 
all  are  as  near  to  you  as  the  dearest  you  love 
now.  And  it  expands  until,  without  distinc- 

111— 


tion,  you  love  all — until  you  have  fully  real- 
ized that  all  are  only  One,  that  all  are  'You*. 

Universal  Love  is  not:  the  personal  love, 
parcelled  out  in  negligible  minims  to  every 
creature — not :  personal  love,  diluted  into  in- 
different kindness  for  all,  without  brotherli- 
ness  for  any. 

It  is:  a  new  outpouring  of  Divinity  in 
you;  the  acquisition  of  a  wider  conscious- 
ness, at  the  point  where  you  can  step  out 
of  the  present  race  into  My  spiritualized 
Race — where  you  can  break  the  shell  that 
limits  full-grown  humanity,  in  order  to  enter 
into  the  infancy  of  super-humanity. 


PERFECT  PURITY 

For  Purity — for  perfect  Purity — have  I, 
the  Spirit  of  the  Unborn,  been  pleading  with 
you,  in  order  that  My  Race  of  a  purified 
humanity  may  come  into  manifested  exist- 
ence. 

Soon  I  shall  select  a  few  of  you  to  estab- 
lish it  in  a  secluded  place — where  conditions 
will  be  ideally  suitable.  Some  I  have  found 
who  are  ready;  more  I  expect  to  find  in  the 
near  future.  But  not  until  a  sufficient  number 
is  prepared,  can  My  Race  be  founded  defi- 
nitely, as  a  segregated  unit. 

I  have  therefore  come  to  lay  before  you 
all  those  qualities  which  will  be  indispensable 


if  you  wish  to  join  the  early  settlement  of  the 
New  Race. 


Purity  and  Love  are  the  fundamental 
needs — not  only  for  admission  into  My  Race ; 
for  in  the  course  of  time  no  one  can  progress 
very  far  without  Love  and  Purity! 

The  purity  that  I  require  is  one,  not  only 
of  deeds,  but  of  every  word  and  thought; 
and  not  only  of  your  thoughts,  but  of  your 
very  being,  of  your  whole  nature !  So  pure 
you  must  be,  that  not  any  influence  from  the 
outside  can  awaken  an  undesirable  response 
in  you. 

This  may  seem  almost  impossible  for  any- 
one of  you  to  attain  perfectly.  But  if  you 
strive — and  refuse  to  be  ruled,  even  for  a 
single  moment,  by  other  principles  than  those 
of  Purity  and  of  Love — then  you  will  see 
improvement  from  day  to  day;  and  the  ten- 
dency to  yield  to  less  worthy  influences  will 
rapidly  lose  its  hold  upon  you.  Thus  will 
you  become  a  candidate  for  My  Race. 


—124 


Has  it  no  attraction  for  you?  Does  it  ap- 
pear to  you  as  if  devoid  of  interest,  monoto- 
nous, nonsensical,  absurd?  Only  the  nar- 
row-minded can  thus  misjudge  what  in  the 
course  of  evolution — in  the  growth  of  con- 
sciousness, of  liberty,  of  joy — still  awaits 
them. 

All  will  attain  some  time.  The  choice  7 
bring  is  this :  will  you  grow  willingly,  helping 
the  cosmic  Law,  and  hastening  evolution — or 
blindly  struggle  on,  unknowingly,  even  unwil- 
lingly, and  remaining  so  much  longer  in  the 
misery  of  your  half-evolved  stage  ? 


I,  the  Spirit  of  the  Unborn,  have  come  to 
call  for  aspirants  for  the  Coming  Race  I 

I  am  the  Spirit  of  that  Race — and  I  am 
even  more.  I  am  the  Spirit — of  the  New 
Race — and  of  all  beings.  I  AM — the  SPIRIT! 

But  I  have  spoken  only  in  this  one  aspect: 
as  Spirit  of  the  Unborn — because  for  their, 
as  well  as  for  your  sake,  the  New  Race  must 
soon  be  born. 

125— 


I  have  not  called  in  vain ! 

I  have  not  called  without  arousing  some  of 
you  to  the  significance  of  what  I  have  stated: 
that  a  New  Race  is  about  to  be  established. 


What  I  want  every  one  to  know — what  I 
have  wanted  you  to  know  and  understand 
all  through  this  message  is: 

that  the  Unborn  of  a  New  Ideal  Race  are 
ready  for  your  world,  when  you  are  ready 
for  them; 

that  they  will  come,  when  you  prepare 
their  way; 

that  they  are  waiting  for  purer  bodies,  for 
purer  surroundings,  for  purer  parents,  and 
for  purer  Love ; 

that  they  will  incarnate,  as  soon  as  you 
are  pure; 

and  that  you  yourself  can  enter  My  New 
Race — when  you  steadily  strive  for  perfect 
PURITY. 


I  AM  WAITING !
